[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 1/3] drm/i915: Support for pre-populating the object with system pages

[ankitprasad.r.sharma at intel.com]

From: Ankitprasad Sharma <ankitprasad.r.sharma at intel.com>

This patch provides support for the User to populate the object
with system pages at its creation time. Since this can be safely
performed without holding the 'struct_mutex', it would help to reduce
the time 'struct_mutex' is kept locked especially during the exec-buffer
path, where it is generally held for the longest time.
