This is an initial import of the atom bios parser with modesetting support
for r500 hw using atombios. It also includes a simple memory manager
layer that translates a radeon GEM style interface onto TTM internally.
So far this memory manager has only been used for pinned object allocation
for the DDX to test modesetting.
The kernel has removed nopage so move the old nopage codepaths into a compat vm file and switch to using the fault paths.
nopfn is on its way out in the future also, so we should switch to using fault
for that path as well soon

Bump driver minor to 13 due to introduction of new
relocation type.
PCI- or high memory.
This is substantially more efficient than drm_bo_kmap,
since the mapping only lives on a single processor.
Unmapping is done use kunmap_atomic(). Flushes only a single tlb() entry.
Add a support utility int drm_bo_pfn_prot() that returns the
pfn and desired page protection for a given bo offset.
This is all intended for relocations in bound TTMS or vram.
Mapping-accessing-unmapping must be atomic, either using preempt_xx() macros
or a spinlock.

Introduce tile members for future tiled buffer support.
Allow user-space to explicitly define a fence-class.
Remove the implicit fence-class mechanism.
64-bit wide buffer object flag member.
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.
