The following six patches rearrange the code in the i915 module to allow
for a large amount output code common to other hardware to be reused by
other drivers. The common code is being termed the "Display Controller"
or VDC. 

The changes include splitting the monolithic drm_i915_private structure
into two parts, abstracting the gem function calls, moving a function
and actually splitting the code into two modules. There should be no
functionality changes.
