[PATCH 00/25] dma-fence annotations, round 3

Hi all,

Bunch of changes that might matter:

- Clarification that dma_fences are for drivers/gpu, requested by Jason
  Gunthorpe.

- New patch to list all the past discussions around
  indefinite/future/whatever fences, and why this (sadly) still just plain
  doesn't work. Came up again when discussing this stuff, I'd like to just
  be able to point at some doc going forward.

- I rolled dma-fence critical section annotations to (almost, vc4, nouveau
  and i915 have a bit too much custom commit functions) atomic kms
  drivers. Really looking for some serious testing with these, aside from
  the amdgpu atomic commit issues we've also found some problems in vmwgfx
  commit code. All real issues, and noted in the patches.

After the modeset stuff there's still the drm/scheduler annotations.
Testing with other drivers than amdgpu using the drm scheduler would be
very much welcome.

Then the usual pile of amdgpu hacks that I used for developing this. That
stuff isn't for merging, I'm hoping amd is working on proper patches for
these things.

Testing for this series means, especially for the atomic kms drivers:
- build with CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING
- run the kms_atomic igt, that one actually uses atomic in&out fences -
  withotu these it's only half the fun
- run anything else you feel like which might use fences, like your
  rendering driver. You do have testcases for that right :-)

The mmu notifier annotation integration landed in -mm for a few days
meanwhile, but I busted it pretty bad. That one needs more baking, I'm
trying to figure out how to write unit tests for these annotations so I'm
not blowing them up all the time.

Also I think it'd be nice if we could start merging some of the earlier
stuff maybe, that doest start to feel solid (at least to me).

Review, commenst and testing on drivers as per above very much welcome.

Thanks, Daniel
