This is a essentially a big squash merge from the kernel tree I've been
working in, sorry about the loss of history, but commiting each patch
individually would've taken quite a while to do.
The nv50 kms code now uses the helpers in the drm, simplifying the
code greatly.
The code is far more stable than previously on all the G8x cards I've
been able to test on, but there's likely still bugs to be ironed out!
Not really necessary it seems as we've been dealing without it for a while
now. But, it's useful to be sure that we don't end up with stale bits
of state laying around.
NV04 was completely busted. Push buffers were getting allocated at the
end of VRAM, overwriting PRAMIN. So, it turns out PRAMIN is in VRAM on
all chips. Question answered!
It turns out drm_bo_usage_deref_locked doesn't set the pointer it's passed
to NULL after destroying the object. So, this double free made things go
boom!
Loading nouveau.ko would fail with unknown symbols, if the backlight
class device support is not provided in the kernel. Let's make the
backlight support dependant on the kernel configuration.
This is a bit ugly, the proper way would be to check for the config in
Makefile.kernel whether to build nouveau_backlight.o at all, and if not,
nouveau_drv.h should provide the stubs.

Several nvidia-based systems don't support backlight control via the
standard ACPI control mechanisms. Instead, it's necessary for the driver
to modify the backlight control registers directly. This patch adds
support for determining whether the registers appear to be in use, and
if so registers a kernel backlight device to control them. The backlight
can then be controlled via existing userspace tools.

This patch tries to use the available fence count to figure out whether a
given batch can succeed or not (just like the aperture check).

It is impossible to replace the original semantics of this call purely
in userland, since the fb_id would change.
