Those two experimental APIs never worked fine nor, afaik, were
implemented at the apps. Their functionalities were implemented by other
means.
So, let's remove those obsolete stuff.

+What:  V4L2 VIDIOC_G_MPEGCOMP and VIDIOC_S_MPEGCOMP
+When:  October 2007
+Why:   Broken attempt to set MPEG compression parameters. These ioctls are
+       not able to implement the wide variety of parameters that can be set
+       by hardware MPEG encoders. A new MPEG control mechanism was created
+       in kernel 2.6.18 that replaces these ioctls. See the V4L2 specification
+       (section 1.9: Extended controls) for more information on this topic.
