[Nouveau] [PATCH v2 0/3] drm/nouveau: extend the lifetime of nouveau_drm

[Lyude Paul]

			       !!!Note!!!

This isn't my patch series and I've only reviewed 2/3 of the patches so
far, but I'm going to review the docs patch here the next chance I get.
I'm just rebasing this until then, so hopefully we can get the first two
patches of this into nouveau

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi folks,

Currently, when the device is removed (or the driver is unbound) the
nouveau_drm structure de-allocated. However, it's still accessible from
and used by some DRM layer callbacks. For example, file handles can be
closed after the device has been removed (physically or otherwise). This
series converts the Nouveau device structure to be allocated and
de-allocated with the devm_drm_dev_alloc() API.

In the future, additional resources that should be bound to the lifetime
of the drm_device can be added, and the drmm_add_action() APIs offer a
nice hook for arbitrary cleanup actions before the drm_device is
destroyed, so I suspect much of the current cleanup code in Nouveau
would benefit from some refactoring to use this.

Finally, although not *strictly* necessary for this series, I included
some documentation for structures I investigated for this work.
