Given that mgag200 is the only user I think the best way forward is to
improve the mgag200 cursor handling so we can just drop the _reserved
variants ...
When looking at mga_crtc_cursor_set() I suspect the easierst way to do
that would be to simply pin the cursor bo's at driver_load time, then we
don't have to bother with pinning in mga_crtc_cursor_set() at all.
Thomas, as you have test hardware, can you look into this?
thanks,
Gerd
