Do not turn on the vcr_hack based on the btv->field value.
This was a change in the bttv vb2 conversion that caused green lines at the bottom of the picture in tvtime.
It was originally added to the vb2 conversion based on faulty information that without this there would be glitches in the video. However, later tests suggest that this is a problem in the utilities used to test this since tvtime behaves fine.
This patch reverts the bttv driver to the original pre-vb2 behavior w.r.t. vcr_hack.

My Silverstone USB 3.0 controller card still has problems with USB 3.0 devices. They are not recognized if the device is already connected when booting, and this naturally prevents loading the root filesystem from an USB 3.0 disk.
