Several nvidia-based systems don't support backlight control via the
standard ACPI control mechanisms. Instead, it's necessary for the driver
to modify the backlight control registers directly. This patch adds
support for determining whether the registers appear to be in use, and
if so registers a kernel backlight device to control them. The backlight
can then be controlled via existing userspace tools.

NVIDIA do this fun little sequence after updating the PRAMIN page tables.
On 9xxx chips, none of the PRAMIN BAR bindings (except the initial one)
worked, hence the majority of the setup needed to create a channel
ended up in the wrong place, causing all sorts of fun.
This is done by NVIDIA on nv8x chips also, so we'll do it for them too,
even though they appear to work without it.
I'm not 100% sure that the nv94 one we were using won't work. The context
layouts are identical (well.. same ctxprog, so of course!), only a couple
of registers differ. But, be safe until we actually get some 9xxx chips
working.
Our PFIFO/PGRAPH context save/load functions don't really work well
(at all?) on nv5x yet. Depending on what random state the card is
in before the drm loads, fbcon probably won't work correctly.
Luckily we've setup the GPU in such a way that it'll actually do a
hw context switch for the first context. Not sure of how successful
this'd be currently on the older chips (actually, pretty sure it won't
work), so NV50 only for now.
This patch tries to use the available fence count to figure out whether a
given batch can succeed or not (just like the aperture check).

The values are really going to continue meaning pipe, not plane, and that's
what they're called in the kernel copy of the header. Userland hasn't ever
made the switch to pipe!=plane, since userland checks are based on DRM
version, which is still stuck at 1.6. However, Mesa did start using
plane[AB] names, so provide a compat define.
Add mode setting files to libdrm, including xf86drmMode.* and the new
drm_mode.h header. Also add a couple of tests to sanity check the
kernel interfaces and update code to support them.
I either messed up when I pulled these from a mmio-trace last time, or
the previous values didn't work on my card. Hopefully it's the former!
In any case, at least one of the original NV50 chipsets work now.
A small subset of CS need to be atomic (relocation+IB commit to
ring) right now, because of the way relocation are handled, we
need to protect the whole ioctl.
