This relies on a new kernel ioctl to get the available aperture size.
In order to provide reasonable performance from dri_bufmgr_check_aperture, we
now require that once a buffer has been used as the target of a relocation,
it gets no further relocations added to it. This cuts the cost of
check_aperture from 10% to 1% in the 3D driver with no code changes, but
slightly complicates our plans for the 2D driver.
Various chips have exciting interactions between the CPU and the GPU's
different ways of accessing interleaved memory, so we need some kernel
assistance in determining how it works.
Only fully tested on GM965 so far.
When a software fallback has completed, usermode must notify the kernel so
that any scanout buffers can be synchronized. This ioctl should be called
whenever a fallback completes to flush CPU and chipset caches.
Lots of conflicts, seems to load ok, but I'm sure some bugs snuck in.

This is the create (may want location flags), pread/pwrite/mmap
(performance tuning hints), and set_domain (will 32 bits be enough for
everyone?) ioctls. Left in the generic set are just flink/open/close.
The 2D driver must be updated for this change, and API but not ABI is broken
for 3D. The driver version is bumped to mark this.
Use new GEM based ring buffer initialization. Still need to init GEM & use it
for framebuffer allocation etc.

This requires that the X Server use the execbuf interface for buffer
submission, as it no longer has direct access to the ring. This is
therefore a flag day for the gem interface.
This also adds enter/leavevt ioctls for use by the X Server. These would
get stubbed out in a modesetting implementation, but are required while
in an environment where the device's state is only managed by the DRM while
X has the VT.
Instead of throttling and execbuffer time, have the application ask to
throttle explicitly. This allows the throttle to happen less often, and
without holding the DRM lock.
Domain information is about buffer relationships, not buffer contents. That
means a relocation contains the domain information as it knows how the
source buffer references the target buffer.
This also adds the set_domain ioctl so that user space can move buffers to
the cpu domain.
mixed 32/64 bit systems need 'special' help for ioctl where the user-space
and kernel-space datatypes differ. Fixing the datatypes to be the same size,
and align the same way for both 32 and 64-bit ppc and x86 environments will
elimiante the need to have magic 32/64-bit ioctl translation code.
