Ben Skeggs 1766e1c07b nv50: force channel vram access through vm 
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.

DRM README file


There are two main parts to this package: the DRM client library/interface
(libdrm.so) and kernel/hardware-specific device modules (such as i915.ko).



Compiling
---------

By default, libdrm and the DRM header files will install into /usr/local/.
If you want to install this DRM to replace your system copy, say:

	./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/

Then,
	make install


To build the device-specific kernel modules:

	cd linux-core/
	make
	cp *.ko /lib/modules/VERSION/kernel/drivers/char/drm/
	   (where VERSION is your kernel version: uname -f)

Or,
	cd bsd-core/
	make
	copy the kernel modules to the appropriate place



Tips & Trouble-shooting
-----------------------

1. You'll need kernel sources.  If using Fedora Core 5, for example, you may
   need to install RPMs such as:

	kernel-smp-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm
	kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm
	etc.


2. You may need to make a symlink from /lib/modules/VERSION/build to your
   kernel sources in /usr/src/kernels/VERSION (where version is `uname -r`):

	cd /lib/modules/VERSION
	ln -s /usr/src/kernels/VERSION build


3. If you've build the kernel modules but they won't load because of an
   error like this:

	$ /sbin/modprobe drm
	FATAL: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Invalid module format

   And 'dmesg|tail' says:

	drm: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module 

   Try recompiling your drm modules without the Module.symvers file.
   That is rm the /usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-smp-i686/Module.symvers
   file (or rename it).  Then do a 'make clean' before rebuilding your drm
   modules.
