[Intel-gfx] [RFC PATCH 1/7] drm/i915: Introduce meta framebuffer

Meta framebuffer, as a special intel_framebuffer, is used to describe
an intel_framebuffer which is already pinned to the GGTT space and can
be accessed by the display engine HW.

In the virtualization world, with the help of GVT-g, vGPUs can share
the entire global GTT space and be able to pin their framebuffers to
the global GTT space. However, vGPUs cannot be able to access the
display HW registers which are fully controlled by host i915.

In order to support the vGPU local display direct flip feature, which
is the vGPU can have several assigned display planes and can post its
framebuffers to those assigned planes, host i915 must program the
display plane registers on behalf of the vGPU. However, without the
knowledge of the vGPU's framebuffers, host i915 cannot program those
plane registers correctly. To fill this gap, the meta framebuffer is
introduced.

The meta framebuffer is used by host i915 to describe the framebuffer
pinned to the GGTT space by guest OS.
