I think I shot down this patch already. I don't want to maintain the 
extra code for DMA support.

But this result is nice, so mabe I'd reconsider. Let's take this patch 
as an RFC to discuss possible ways forward.

There seems to be some fallback still in place in this patch. I 
definately don't want multiple codepaths for copying; so the DMA code 
needs to work on all our hardware.

Can the DMA code be build around Linux' struct drm_device?

This memcpy() should probably go away.  Instead of SHMEM, mgag200 should 
allocate with GEM DMA helpers. We have a number of drivers that use DMA 
helpers with DRM format helpers, so the conversion should be 
strait-forward and can be done independently from the other patches.

Afterward, it should be possible to DMA-copy directly from the GEM 
buffer object.

This branching needs to go. As I said, DMA is either the standard, or 
not there at all. I doubt that the !mdev->dmabuf case can easily happen 
in practice. AFAICT it's all in the 32-bit address range and we're on 
systems with enough physical memory.
