no_overlay bttv parameter implemented to fix OOPS on some PCI chipsets
(like some VIA) with these behaviors:

1) If pci_quicks does identify the chip as having troubles to
   handle PCI2PCI transfers, no_overlay defaults to 1. The user may force
   it to 0, to reenable (not recommended).

2) For newer chipsets not blacklisted, no_overlay=1 is provided as a
   workaround until PCI chipset included on /drivers/pci/quirks.c
