otherwise data will be missing, which becomes apparent when the kernel evicts
batch buffers which are likely to be written into in the evicted state,
and then rebound to the AGP aperture.
This means we cannot rely on the AGP module to flush the
cache for us.
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.
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.
drm_agp_foo_ioctl pair. Modifies the MGA DRM to use the drm_agp_foo
functions instead of the drm_foo_agp functions. The drm_foo_agp
functions are no longer exported by drm.ko.
Ensures that dma->seg_count and dma->page_count are properly set in
drm_addbufs_{agp,sg,fb}. drm_addbufs_pci was already correct.
Ensures that mga_do_agp_dma_bootstrap correctly sets agp_buffer_token.
At this point PCI DMA is still broken.

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.

respectively. Splited the work out of the ioctls and renamed (with the
_ioctl prefix). Added some more documentation. Did the same for
drm_sgpsupport.h.
- Reset 'bound' flag for an agp entry after undbind succeeded in
drm_agpsupport.h (Egbert Eich).
- Ignore hw_lock for drm device if lock was set by a different instance (ie
Xserver) to prevent second server from spinning in driver release
function (currently only relevant for i8xx drm drivers) (David Dawes).
- Use the agpgart "key" for the unique handle for bindings rather than the
memory address (the key is guaranteed to be unique) (David Dawes).
