[PATCH v3 0/8] drm: Support short-term vmap via vmap_local

(was: drm/vram-helper: Lock GEM BOs while they are mapped)

GEM VRAM helpers used to pin the BO in their implementation of vmap, so
that they could not be relocated. In recent discussions, [1][2] it became
clear that this is incorrect for in-kernel use cases, such as fbdev
emulation; which should rather depend on the reservation lock to prevent
relocation.

This patchset addresses the issue by introducing the new interfaces
vmap_local and vunmap_local throughout dma-buf and GEM. It further adds
support to DRM's CMA, SHMEM and VRAM helpers and finally converts fbdev
emulation to the new interface.

Patches 1 and 2 prepare the ast cursor code for the later changes.

Patches 3 and 4 add the vmap_local infrastructure throughout dma-buf,
GEM and PRIME.

Patches 5 to 7 add implementations of vmap_local to DRM's various GEM
helper libraries. Due to the simple nature of these libraries, existing
vmap code can be reused easily. Several drivers are updateed as well to
use the new interfaces.

Patch 8 converts generic fbdev emulation to use vmap_local. Only DRM
drivers that use GEM helpers currently use fbdev emulation, so patches
5 to 7 covered all necessary instances.

I smoke-tested the patchset with ast (VRAM helpers), mgag200 (SHMEM) and
vc4 (CMA). I also tested with a version of radeon (raw TTM) that has been
converted to generic fbdev emulation.

v3:
	* rewrite patchset around vmap_local
v2:
	* make importers acquire resv locks by themselves
	* document dma-buf vamp/vunmap ops
