This patch adds serveral new ioctls and a new query to get_param query to
support PCI MGA cards.
Two ioctls were added to implement interrupt based waiting. With this
change, the client-side driver no longer needs to map the primary DMA
region or the MMIO region. Previously, end-of-frame waiting was done by
busy waiting in the client-side driver until one of the MMIO registers
(the current DMA pointer) matched a pointer to the end of primary DMA
space. By using interrupts, the busy waiting and the extra mappings are
removed.
A third ioctl was added to bootstrap DMA. This ioctl, which is used by the
X-server, moves a *LOT* of code from the X-server into the kernel. This
allows the kernel to do whatever needs to be done to setup DMA buffers.
The entire process and the locations of the buffers are hidden from
user-mode.
Additionally, a get_param query was added to differentiate between G4x0
cards and G550 cards. A gap was left in the numbering sequence so that,
if needed, G450 cards could be distinguished from G400 cards. According
to Ville Syrjälä, the G4x0 cards and the G550 cards handle
anisotropic filtering differently. This seems the most compatible way
to let the client-side driver know which card it's own. Doing this very
small change now eliminates the need to bump the DRM minor version
twice.

A number of ioctl handlers in linux-core were also modified so that they
could be called in-kernel. In these cases, the in-kernel callable
version kept the existing name (e.g., drm_agp_acquire) and the ioctl
handler added _ioctl to the name (e.g., drm_agp_acquire_ioctl).
This patch also replaces the drm_agp_do_release function with
drm_agp_release. drm_agp_release (drm_core_agp_release in the previous
patch) is very similar to drm_agp_do_release, and I saw no reason to
have both.
This commit *breaks the build* on BSD. Eric said that he would make the
required updates to the BSD side soon.
Xorg bug: 3259 Reviewed by: Eric Anholt
1) Security fix: Stopped possible MMIO access to PCI DMA area for the
unichrome Pro.
2) Fixed an odd cpu usage problem by padding small AGP DMA submissions.
Bumped patchlevel.
New PCI command parser. Moved from via_dma.c to via_verifier.c so functions
with similar functionality are close to eachother.
Moved video related functions to via_video.c, which might be extended in
the future, as new video functionality is added.
New device-specific generic IRQ IOCTL, similar to the general VBLANK IOCTL,
but with support for multiple device IRQ sources and functionality.
Support for Unichrome Pro PM800/CN400 video DMA commands in verifier and
PCI parser.
Support for Unichrome Pro PM800/CN400 HQV IRQs in the new generic IRQ
IOCTL.
Bumped minor. New version 2.6.0.
1. Initialize futex locks to zero on device init.
2. Remove some stray defines from via_drm.h
3. Prepare via_drm.h for drm client inclusion. The goal is to share a
common file with common definitions.
4. Sync shared / shared-core via_drm.h
5. Bump minor, because of the futex lock initialization.
The attached patch adds a new buffer type DRM_FB_BUFFER. It works like AGP
memory but uses video memory.

bug in the cmdbuf_size ioctl. Modified ring-buffer jump code AGAIN, due
to new oddities discovered on the Unichrome Pro with faster processors.
Bumped patchlevel and driver date.
1. Improved security check of AGP texture adresses.
2. Hopefully last fix of ring-buffer jump oddities.
3. Added ioctl to check available space and command regulator lag in
ring-buffer. This is needed for 3D application responsiveness.
1. The command verifier was never initialized in the non-core source tree.
2. Check added that the AGP ring buffer has been initialized before
accepting command buffer.
3. Free space check in the AGP buffer is moved to after command
verification, which is more optimal in most cases.

unichrome driver.
Added vsync frequency detection support. This will be used in the future
for XvMC and better frame timing.
Bumped minor version number and driver date.
