[PATCH v4 4/4] drm: allow to use mmuless SoC

Some SoC without MMU have display driver where a drm/kms driver
could be implemented.

Before doing such kind of thing drm/kms must allow to use mmuless devices.
This patch propose to remove MMU configuration flag and add a cma helper
function to help implementing mmuless display driver

version 4:
- add documentation about drm_gem_cma_get_unmapped_area()
- stub it MMU case

 Drivers that want to map the GEM object upfront instead of handling page
 faults can implement their own mmap file operation handler.
 
+For platforms without MMU the GEM core provides a helper method
+:c:func:`drm_gem_cma_get_unmapped_area`. The mmap() routines will call
+this to get a proposed address for the mapping.
+
+To use :c:func:`drm_gem_cma_get_unmapped_area`, drivers must fill the
+struct :c:type:`struct file_operations <file_operations>` get_unmapped_area
+field with a pointer on :c:func:`drm_gem_cma_get_unmapped_area`.
+
+More detailed information about get_unmapped_area can be found in
+Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt
