Change how offset 'cookie' field value is computed to make possible to use more buffers. The maximum number of buffers depends of PAGE_SHIFT value and can go up to 0x7fff when PAGE_SHIFT = 12. With this encoding pattern we know the maximum number that a queue could store so we can check it at queue init time. It also make easier and faster to find buffer and plane from using the offset field. Change __find_plane_by_offset() prototype to return the video buffer itself rather than it index.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
