[PATCH v2 0/11] drm/via: Make via a single file driver

We have an upcoming openchrome driver for VIA where some
of the files conflicts with the existing via driver.

It is not acceptable to just delete the existing DRI1
based driver as there are most likely users out there,
so a different approach was required.

It was disccussed what to do and the least invasive
solution was to keep the DRI1 driver in the current
directory as a single file.

Thomas Zimmermann already posted a patch to do the
same but it attemped to have a single driver
for the DRI1 and the upcoming new driver.

This patchset embeds the files one by one to make the
diffs remotely readable and end up with an independent
DRI1 driver.

The driver was built tested for each step.

v2:
  - Drop the rename of the driver - keep the name via.
    We can name the new driver viakms or openchrome so
    there is no confusion in userspace if the old or
    the new driver is used.
  - Add a few patches to make via_3d_reg more readable,
    which has the nice side-effect that it is now checkpatch
    clean.
  - Added Kevin as cc: on all patches

This set of patches should make it simpler to add the new
openchrome driver, and I am happy to assist if there are
open questions how to do it.

Note: The patches has seen zero run-time testing - I only
know they builds in my setup (for several archs).
