[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 00/15] Retire dma_buf_k(un)map

Hi all,

Way back when we created the dma-buf spec it made sense to have kmap/unmap
interfaces, since 32bit kernels with limited vmalloc space were still
rather ubiquitous. But that idea (like many others) never caught on, was
quickly replaced by vmaps covering the entire buffer for all real uses,
and nowadays 64bit kernels rule the world. Currently merged upstream
drivers (and we have a pile now) don't even bother to kmap for their
private buffers, much less for anything shared.

So since it was never used, and this idea's time is clearly over, let's
remove it all.

Only real change I had to do (aside from deleting lots of dead code) was
in the tegra driver. But even there I suspect the dma-buf kmap path has
never been run in anger anywhere, it just doesn't make sense to put relocs
into a dma-buf (as opposed to using a dma-buf for the target address of a
reloc).

Comments, reviews and testing very much appreciated.

Cheers, Daniel
