From: "Siluvery, Arun" <arun.siluvery at intel.com>

This patch adds support to have gem objects of variable size.
The size of the gem object obj->size is always constant and this fact
is tightly coupled in the driver; this implementation allows to vary
its effective size using an interface similar to fallocate().

A new ioctl() is introduced to mark a range as scratch/usable.
Once marked as scratch, associated backing store is released and the
region is filled with scratch pages. The region can also be unmarked
at a later point in which case new backing pages are created.
The range can be anywhere within the object space, it can have multiple
ranges possibly overlapping forming a large contiguous range.

There is only one single scratch page and Kernel allows to write to this
page; userspace need to keep track of scratch page range otherwise any
subsequent writes to these pages will overwrite previous content.

This feature is useful where the exact size of the object is not clear
at the time of its creation, in such case we usually create an object
with more than the required size but end up using it partially.
In devices where there are tight memory constraints it would be useful
to release that additional space which is currently unused. Using this
interface the region can be simply marked as scratch which releases
its backing store thus reducing the memory pressure on the kernel.

Many thanks to Daniel, ChrisW, Tvrtko, Bob for the idea and feedback
on this implementation.

Please let me know if I need to submit this as PATCH instead of RFC.
Since this is RFC I have included all changes as a single patch.
