[PATCH 0/3] Provide struct ttm_global for TTM global state

[Thomas Zimmermann]

TTM provides global memory and a global BO that is shared by all
TTM-based drivers. The data structures are provided by struct drm_global
and its helpers. All TTM-based DRM drivers copy the initialization and
clean-up code for the global TTM state from each other; leading to code
duplication.

The new structure struct ttm_global and its helpers provide a unified
implementation. Drivers only have to initialize it and forward the
contained BO global object to ttm_bo_device_init().

The amdgpu and radeon drivers are converted to struct ttm_global as
part of this patch set. All other TTM-based drivers share exactly the
same code patterns and can be converted in the same way.

Future directions: I already have patches for converting the remaining
TTM drivers to struct ttm_global. These patches can be merged after
the structure has become available in upstream. struct ttm_global is
implemented on top of struct drm_global. The latter actually maintains
TTM state instead of DRM state. Once all drivers have been converted,
    the code for struct drm_global can be merged into struct ttm_global.

(Resending this patch set, as I forgot to CC the mailing lists as first.)
