With the current screwed but its ABI, ioctls for the drm, Linus pointed out that we could allow userspace to specify the allocation size, but we pass it to the driver which then uses it blindly to store a struct. Now if userspace specifies the allocation size as smaller than the driver needs, the driver can possibly overwrite memory.
This patch restructures the driver ioctls so we store the structure size we are expecting, and make sure we allocate at least that size. The copy from/to userspace are still restricted to the size the user specifies, this allows ioctl structs to grow on both sides of the equation.
Up until now we didn't really use the DRM_IOCTL defines in the kernel, so this cleans them up and adds them for nouveau.
v2:
fix nouveau pushbuf arg (thanks to Ben for pointing it out)

Almost all r128's private ioctls require that the CCE state has
already been initialised. However, most do not test that this has
been done, and will proceed to dereference a null pointer. This may
result in a security vulnerability, since some ioctls are
unprivileged.
This adds a macro for the common initialisation test and changes all
ioctl implementations that require prior initialisation to use that
macro.
Also, r128_do_init_cce() does not test that the CCE state has not
been initialised already. Repeated initialisation may lead to a crash
or resource leak. This adds that test.

It hasn't been used in ages, and having the user tell your how much
memory is being freed at free time is a recipe for disaster even if it
was ever used.

Like the last patch but adds a macro to get at the irq value instead of
dereferencing pdev directly. Should make things easier for the BSD guys and
if we ever support non-PCI devices.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
