[PATCH] drm/vram-helpers: Merge code into a single file

Most of the documentation was in an otherwise empty file, which was
probably just left from a previous clean-up effort. So move code and
documentation into a single file.

+ * With the GEM interface userspace applications create, manage and destroy

+ * an implementation of these interfaces. It's up to the DRM driver to
+ * provide an implementation that suits the hardware. If the hardware device

+ * interfaces for GEM buffer management and initializes file operations to
+ * allow for accessing created GEM buffers. With this setup, the DRM driver
+ * manages an area of video RAM with VRAM MM and provides GEM VRAM objects
+ * to userspace.
+ *
+ * To clean up the VRAM memory management, call drm_vram_helper_release_mm()

+ * &DRM_GEM_VRAM_PL_FLAG_SYSTEM to pin a buffer object in video RAM or system
+ * memory. Call drm_gem_vram_unpin() to release the pinned object afterwards.
+ *
+ * A buffer object that is pinned in video RAM has a fixed address within that
