This function used to return 'void *', which was then cast to
'xgi_pcie_block_t *' at the only caller. I changed the return type to
'struct xgi_pcie_block_s *' and removed the explicit cast.
For various reasons, this ioctl was a bad idea.
At channel creation we now automatically create DMA objects covering
available VRAM and GART memory, where the client used to do this themselves.
However, there is still a need to be able to create DMA objects pointing at
specific areas of memory (ie. notifiers). Each channel is now allocated a
small amount of memory from which a client can suballocate things (such as
notifiers), and have a DMA object created which covers the suballocated area.
The NOTIFIER_ALLOC ioctl exposes this functionality.
NV04/NV10 load_context()/save_context() are stubs. I don't know enough about
how they work to implement them sanely. The "old" context_switch() code
remains hooked up, so it shouldn't break anything.
NV20 will probably break if load_context() works. No inital context values
are filled in, so when the first channel is created PGRAPH will probably end
up having its state zeroed. Some setup from nv20_graph_init() will probably
need to be moved to the per-channel context setup.
- use a timer for disabling vblank events to avoid enable/disable calls too
often
- make i915 work with pre-965 chips again (would like to structure this
better, but this hack works on my test system)
s/u64/drm_u64_t/ to allow userspace code using drm.h to compile.
Move 64 bit arg member to the beginning to avoid alignment issues with 32
bit userspace on 64 bit kernels.
It's possible that we disable vblank interrupts and clear the
corresponding flag in irq_enable_reg, but receive an interrupt at just
the wrong time, causing us to not ack it properly, nor report to the
core kernel that it was handled. Fix that case by always handling
vblank interrupts, even if the irq_enable_reg field is clear.
