Memory types are either fixed (on-card or pre-bound AGP) or not fixed
(dynamically bound) to an aperture. They also carry information about:
1) Whether they can be mapped cached.
2) Whether they are at all mappable.
3) Whether they need an ioremap to be accessible from kernel space.
In this way VRAM memory and, for example, pre-bound AGP appear
identical to the memory manager.
This also makes support for unmappable VRAM simple to implement.
This comes from the Re: [patch] paravirt: isolate module ops on lkml
It needs some testing, please report any regressions caused.

I need the following patch to fix compilation of
latest drm/linux-core on my ppc64 machine.
/home/mb/develop/git/drm/linux-core/savage_bci.c: In function ‘savage_driver_firstopen’:
/home/mb/develop/git/drm/linux-core/savage_bci.c:587: error: ‘DRM_MTRR_WC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
/home/mb/develop/git/drm/linux-core/savage_bci.c:587: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
/home/mb/develop/git/drm/linux-core/savage_bci.c:587: error: for each function it appears in.)
/home/mb/develop/git/drm/linux-core/savage_bci.c: In function ‘savage_driver_lastclose’:
/home/mb/develop/git/drm/linux-core/savage_bci.c:664: error: ‘DRM_MTRR_WC’ undeclared (first use in this function)
I looked at in-kernel drmP.h and it actually
has the same fix in it.

This will come in very handy for tiled buffers on intel hardware.
Also add some padding to interface structures to allow future binary backwards
compatible changes.
driver we're on.
Avoid global cache flushes before inserting pages.
In general, they are never mapped, and not accessed through the kernel map, so
a cache flush should not be necessary. The exception is pages that are bound
cached. We might need a cache flush for those.
The mm_lock function is used when leaving vt. It evicts _all_ buffers.
Buffers with the DRM_BO_NO_MOVE attribute set will be guaranteed to
get the same offset when / if they are rebound.
Fix buffer bound caching policy changing, Allow
on-the-fly changing of caching policy on bound buffers if the hardware
supports it.
Allow drivers to use driver-specific AGP memory types for TTM AGP pages.
Will make AGP drivers much easier to migrate.
Adapt for new functions in the 2.6.19 kernel.
Remove the ability to have multiple regions in one TTM.
This simplifies a lot of code.
Remove the ability to access TTMs from user space.
We don't need it anymore without ttm regions.
Don't change caching policy for evicted buffers. Instead change it only
when the buffer is accessed by the CPU (on the first page fault).
This tremendously speeds up eviction rates.
Current code is safe for kernels <= 2.6.14.
Should also be OK with 2.6.19 and above.
Actually make the existing ioctls for adding and removing drawables do
something useful, and add another ioctl for the X server to update drawable
information. The only kind of drawable information tracked so far is cliprects.
