[Intel-gfx] [RFC 0/3] Increase the utilization of Stolen area on VLV

[sourab.gupta at intel.com]

From: Sourab Gupta <sourab.gupta at intel.com>

These patches are mainly for increasing the utilization
of stolen memory area on VLV. 
Although similar patches were submitted earlier, but this time the 
allocation from stolen area will be done based on user's input.
We have now exposed a new libdrm flag which user can use while creating
an object to convey driver that direct cpu access to buffer is 
not required. Based on this flag, driver can decide to allocate the 
backing storage for this object from stolen mem area.
Based on earlier comments, we have added the truncation logic for these
objects.

Sourab Gupta (3):
  drm/i915: Added a new 'I915_CPU_MAP_NOT_NEEDED' flag to gem_create
    ioctl.
  i915/drm: Increase the utilization of stolen memory on VLV
  drm/i915: Add the truncation logic for Stolen objects.
