Another month, another massive atomic patchset.

I managed to clean up warts left over from the modeset-rework rebase,
but other than that I haven't really found the time to touch this too
much since the last time I posted patches from this set.

Seeing as my schedule isn't getting any less busy in the forseeable
future, it would be nice to get this monster merged sooner rather
than never.

Ever since the code started to resemble something sane, I've tried
to avoid squashing patches, just in case someone was actually trying
to follow what's changed. But clearly some of the patches can
be squashed, and that would probably allow some of the earlier ones
to be dropped entirely.

What's clearly needed is a test tool that will stresss the mode
setting side of the code more. My glplane test just changes the
modes in the beginning, and then just does flips and other plane
stuff. I'll try to get something done on that front before Christmas.

Repo is here:
https://gitorious.org/vsyrjala/linux/commits/drm_atomic_23

The repo also contains 64bit get_user() implementation for x86-32,
which I sent to lkml and x86 people for review. So this should now
be testable even on a 32bit system.
