Record the last execbuffer sequence for each client.
Record that sequence in the throttle ioctl as the 'throttle sequence'.
Wait for the last throttle sequence in the throttle ioctl.
When i915_wait_request clears object from the active list, it may end up
freeing them and not moving them to the inactive list. This ends up
unbinding objects from the GTT without there ever being new objects visible
to i915_gem_evict_something on the inactive list. As the only success
condition required the presence of objects on the inactive list, this would
falsely assume that no GTT space had been made available, and end up
returning -ENOMEM to the application.
We want request retirement to occur about once a second when the request
queue is non-empty. This was done with a timer that queued a work_struct,
using a delayed_work instead makes a lot more sense.
Use GEM for ring buffer setup and framebuffer allocation. This means reworking
the hardware status page stuff a bit (just use the basic range allocator for
vram for now) and #ifdef'ing out the TTM & DRI2 code. Works well enough to
load/unload several times and display fbcon on my T61 (though there's still
some unexplained console corruption).
This is the create (may want location flags), pread/pwrite/mmap
(performance tuning hints), and set_domain (will 32 bits be enough for
everyone?) ioctls. Left in the generic set are just flink/open/close.
The 2D driver must be updated for this change, and API but not ABI is broken
for 3D. The driver version is bumped to mark this.
Use new GEM based ring buffer initialization. Still need to init GEM & use it
for framebuffer allocation etc.

This requires that the X Server use the execbuf interface for buffer
submission, as it no longer has direct access to the ring. This is
therefore a flag day for the gem interface.
This also adds enter/leavevt ioctls for use by the X Server. These would
get stubbed out in a modesetting implementation, but are required while
in an environment where the device's state is only managed by the DRM while
X has the VT.
Port over EDID quirks from X.Org so we can handle more monitors. This meant
adding size info to the drm_display_mode struct, but other than that the
changes were isolated to the DRM EDID handling code (as they should be).
Without the user IRQ running constantly, there's no wakeup when the ring
empties to go retire requests and free buffers. Use a 1 second timer to make
that happen more often.
Instead of throttling and execbuffer time, have the application ask to
throttle explicitly. This allows the throttle to happen less often, and
without holding the DRM lock.
A check in drm_sysfs_connector_remove was supposed to allow it to be called
even with unregistered objects, to make cleanup paths a little simpler.
However, device_is_regsitered didn't always seem to return what we thought it
would, so we'd sometimes end up leaving objects lying around rather than
unregistering them.
Fix this situation up by requiring devices to be registered before being
removed. Any problems resulting from this change should be easier to track
down than the alternative (which is leaving kobjects registered after unload).
We need to initialize the edid_blob_ptr to NULL when we init a connector,
otherwise drm_mode_connector_update_edid_property may think there's a valid
EDID lying around and try to destroy it, causing a crash.
Idea being if you want to add new crtc/output/encoder dynamically later,
you just increase the generation counter and userspace should re-read
all the resources
