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.
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.
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.
This adds the initial i915 superioctl interface. The interface should be
sufficent even if the implementation may needs fixes/optimisations internally
in the drm wrt caching etc.

On the plus side, it was at least binary compatible.
We can figure out which pipe a given plane is mapped to by looking at the
display control registers instead of tracking it in a new SAREA private field.
If this becomes a performance problem, we could move to an ioctl based solution
by adding a new parameter for the DDX to set (defaulting to the old behavior if
the param was never set of course).
This mod makes the SAREA track plane to pipe mappings and corrects the name of
the plane info variables (they were mislabeled as pipe info since until now all
code assumed a direct mapping between planes and pipes).
It also updates the flip ioctl argument to take a set of planes rather than
pipes, since planes are flipped while pipes generate vblank events.
These require that the status page be referenced by a pointer in GTT, rather
than phsyical memory. So, we have the X Server allocate that memory and tell
us the address, instead.
Handle relative as well as absolute target sequence numbers.
Return error if target sequence has already passed, so userspace can deal with
this situation as it sees fit.
On success, return the sequence number of the vertical blank when the buffer
swap is expected to take place.
Also add DRM_IOCTL_I915_VBLANK_SWAP definition for userspace code that may want
to use ioctl() instead of drmCommandWriteRead().

This uses the core facility to schedule a driver callback that will be called
ASAP after the given vertical blank interrupt with the HW lock held.
(cherry picked from 257771fa29 commit)
i915 vblanks can be generated from either pipe a or b, however a disabled
pipe generates no interrupts. This change allows the X server to select
which pipe generates vblank interrupts.
