[PATCH v3 00/19] Share TTM code among DRM framebuffer drivers

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Several simple framebuffer drivers copy most of the TTM code from each
other. The implementation is always the same; except for the name of
some data structures.

As recently discussed, this patch set provides generic memory-management
code for simple framebuffers with dedicated video memory. It further
converts the respective drivers to the generic code. The shared code
is basically the same implementation as the one copied among individual
drivers.

The patch set contains two major changes: first, it introduces
|struct drm_gem_vram_object| and helpers (GEM VRAM). It's a GEM object
that is backed by VRAM. The type's purpose is somewhat similar to
|struct drm_gem_{cma, shmem}_object|: it provides an commom implementation
that handles all the basic cases. Second, the patch set introduces
|struct drm_vram_mm| and helpers (VRAM MM). It's an implementation of a
basic memory manager for VRAM.

Both, GEM VRAM and VRAM MM, support buffer placement in VRAM and system
memory. Both can be used independedly from each other if desired by the
DRM driver.

Currently ast, bochs, mgag200, vboxvideo and hisilicon/hibmc can use
these helpers.

Future directions: with these changes, the respective drivers can also
share some of their mode-setting or fbdev code. GEM VRAM could implement
PRIME helpers, which would allow for using the generic fbcon.

The patch set is against a recent drm-tip.

v3:
	* share VRAM MM callback structure among drivers
	* move VRAM MM instances to drm_device and share rsp. code
v2:
	* rename |struct drm_gem_ttm_object| to |struct drm_gem_vram_object|
	* rename |struct drm_simple_ttm| to |struct drm_vram_mm|
	* make drm_is_gem_ttm() an internal helper
	* add drm_gem_vram_kmap_at()
	* return is_iomem from kmap functions
	* redefine TTM placement flags for public interface
	* add drm_vram_mm_mmap() helper
	* replace almost all of driver's TTM code with these helpers
	* documentation fixes
