This patch adds serveral new ioctls and a new query to get_param query to
support PCI MGA cards.
Two ioctls were added to implement interrupt based waiting. With this
change, the client-side driver no longer needs to map the primary DMA
region or the MMIO region. Previously, end-of-frame waiting was done by
busy waiting in the client-side driver until one of the MMIO registers
(the current DMA pointer) matched a pointer to the end of primary DMA
space. By using interrupts, the busy waiting and the extra mappings are
removed.
A third ioctl was added to bootstrap DMA. This ioctl, which is used by the
X-server, moves a *LOT* of code from the X-server into the kernel. This
allows the kernel to do whatever needs to be done to setup DMA buffers.
The entire process and the locations of the buffers are hidden from
user-mode.
Additionally, a get_param query was added to differentiate between G4x0
cards and G550 cards. A gap was left in the numbering sequence so that,
if needed, G450 cards could be distinguished from G400 cards. According
to Ville Syrjälä, the G4x0 cards and the G550 cards handle
anisotropic filtering differently. This seems the most compatible way
to let the client-side driver know which card it's own. Doing this very
small change now eliminates the need to bump the DRM minor version
twice.

A number of ioctl handlers in linux-core were also modified so that they
could be called in-kernel. In these cases, the in-kernel callable
version kept the existing name (e.g., drm_agp_acquire) and the ioctl
handler added _ioctl to the name (e.g., drm_agp_acquire_ioctl).
This patch also replaces the drm_agp_do_release function with
drm_agp_release. drm_agp_release (drm_core_agp_release in the previous
patch) is very similar to drm_agp_do_release, and I saw no reason to
have both.
This commit *breaks the build* on BSD. Eric said that he would make the
required updates to the BSD side soon.
Xorg bug: 3259 Reviewed by: Eric Anholt
linux-core to free pci memory without freeing the structure. Linux-core
internals often create pci dma handle structures on the stack due to
the lack of a drm_local_map_t to store them in properly. Fix the
original drm_pci_free to actually free the dma handle structure instead
of leaking it.

There's two choices when fb is or isn't loaded as we treat ourselves as a
PCI driver in the latter case.
If we are a PCI driver, then register the suspend/resume functions
directly. If not, then we register as a sysdev and pick up the
suspend/resume actions and pump them down into a generic *power
function.
It'll be nice when this little mess is sorted out with regard to being a
real PCI driver ;-/
with IOMMUs and such. There is one usage of the forbidden vtophys()
left in drm_scatter.c which will be fixed up soon. This required a KPI
change for drm_pci_alloc/free() to return/use a drm_dma_handle_t that
keeps track of os-specific bits, rather than just passing around the
vaddr/busaddr/size.

The first ioctl sets up an area in AGP memory that will be used as the ring
buffer. The second ioctl copies a command buffer from user space memory
to the ring buffer. The third ioctl waits for engine idle until it
returns.
The motivation for this patch is to avoid the wait for engine idle call
before each buffer flush in the current DRI driver. With this patch,
the DRI driver can continue to flush its buffer as long as there is
free space in the ring buffer.
This patch adds an additional copy operation on the command buffer. This
buffer copying is necessary to support multiple DRI clients rendering
simultaneously. Otherwise, more CPU time will be spent in the busy loop
waiting for engine idle between DRI context switch. Even in the single
client case, the tradeoff is reasonable in comparision to the kernel
call to check for free buffer space for the client to render directly
to the ring buffer.
