[PATCH 00/10] rm/bochs: Modernize driver

[Thomas Zimmermann]

Bochs is lagging behind the overall state of DRM. This series gives
the driver an update.

Patch 1 removes duplicated functionality that is already handled
by the DRM core.

Patches 2 and 3 streamlines driver cleanup. Patch 2 reworks EDID
handling to follow current best practices. All buffers with EDID
data will now be cleaned up automatically. Patch 3 adds managed
cleanups for I/O resources. No fini function is needed.

Patches 4 to 6 embed struct drm_device in struct bochs_device and
remove all uses of dev_private.

Patch 7 replaces simple display helpers with regular atomic helpers.
The former are a mid-layer that is more often 'in the way' than helping.
Regular atomic helpers are composable with each other. Simple-pipe
is not.

Patch 8 replaces GEM VRAM with GEM SHMEM. The new memory manager
is more reliable and allows for larger resolutions. Display updates
were so slow that Gnome was unmanageable with a flickering cursor and
single FPS. The new memory management makes Gnome at least useable.

Patch 9 implements display-mode validation against the available video
memory. Modes should now be useable iff they passed mode_valid.

Patch 10 removes code from GEM VRAM helpers that is now no longer in
use.

Tested with qemu emulation.
