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.

- There is one fb, used for as many outputs as possible.
- Eventually smaller screens will be scaled to see the full console, but for the moment this'll do.
If we ever want to be able to use the 3D engine we have no choice. It
appears that the tiling setup (required for 3D on G8x) is in the page tables.
The immediate benefit of this change however is that it's now not possible
for a client to use the GPU to render over the top of important engine setup
tables, which also live in VRAM.
G8x VRAM size is limited to 512MiB at the moment, as we use a 1-1 mapping
of real vram pages to their offset within the start of a channel's VRAM
DMA object and only populate a single PDE for VRAM use.
All nv30 functions in nv30_graph.c that can be used on nv20 are renamed
as accordingly. nv20 specific parts from nv20_graph.c are moved into
nv30_graph.c.
1. DRM_NOUVEAU_GPUOBJ_FREE
Used to free GPU objects. The obvious usage case is for Gr objects,
but notifiers can also be destroyed in the same way.
GPU objects gain a destructor method and private data fields with
this change, so other specialised cases (like notifiers) can be
implemented on top of gpuobjs.
2. DRM_NOUVEAU_CHANNEL_FREE
3. DRM_NOUVEAU_CARD_INIT
Ideally we'd do init during module load, but this isn't currently
possible. Doing init during firstopen() is bad as X has a love of
opening/closing the DRM many times during startup. Once the
modesetting-101 branch is merged this can go away.
IRQs are enabled in nouveau_card_init() now, rather than having the
X server call drmCtlInstHandler(). We'll need this for when we give
the kernel module its own channel.
4. DRM_NOUVEAU_GETPARAM
Add CHIPSET_ID value, which will return the chipset id derived
from NV_PMC_BOOT_0.
4. Use list_* in a few places, rather than home-brewed stuff.
