Currently, we take down the sgdma engine without evicting all buffers
from VRAM.
The TTM device release will try to evict anything in VRAM to GART
memory, but this will fail since sgdma has already been taken down.
This causes an infinite loop in kernel mode on module unload.
It usually doesn't happen because there aren't any buffer on close.
However, if the GPU is locked up, this condition is easily triggered.
This patch fixes it in the simplest way possible by cleaning VRAM
right before cleaning SGDMA memory.

Previously, if there was no firmware available, the DRM would just
disable channel creation from userspace, but still use a single
channel for its own purposes.
With a bit of care it should actually be possible to do this, due
to the DRM's very limited use of the engine. It currently doesn't
work correctly however, resulting in corrupted fbcon and hangs on
a number of cards.

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.
This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
nouveau.freedesktop.org.
