The primary purpose of this was to debug some use-after-free memory
corruption that was causing an OOPS inside drm/i915. As it turned out
the corruption was being caused elsewhere and i915.ko as a major user of
many objects was being hit hardest.
Indeed as we do frequent the generic kmalloc caches, dedicating one to
ourselves (or at least naming one for us depending upon the core) aids
debugging our own slab usage.

Allow for the creation of GEM objects backed by stolen memory. As these
are not backed by ordinary pages, we create a fake dma mapping and store
the address in the scatterlist rather than obj->pages.
v2: Mark _i915_gem_object_create_stolen() as static, as noticed by Jesse
Barnes.

As FBC is commonly disabled due to limitations of the chipset upon
output configurations, on many systems FBC is never enabled. For those
systems, it is advantageous to make use of the stolen memory for other
objects and so we defer allocation of the FBC chunk until we actually
require it. This increases the likelihood of that allocation failing,
but that in turns means that we are already taking advantage of the
stolen memory!
As well as delaying the allocation from driver initialisation until the
first use of FBC, we also return the stolen block after we finish using
it - allowing greater flexibility in our usage of stolen space. A side
effect of this is that we can then attempt to allocate only the required
amount of space (with a little slack to reduce reallocation rate and
avoid fragmentation).

The routine to query the base of stolen memory was using the wrong
registers and the wrong encodings on virtually every platform.
It was not until the G33 refresh, that a PCI config register was
introduced that explicitly said where the stolen memory was. Prior to
865G there was not even a register that said where the end of usable
low memory was and where the stolen memory began (or ended depending
upon chipset). Before then, one has to look at the BIOS memory maps to
find the Top of Memory. Alas that is not exported by arch/x86 and so we
have to resort to disabling stolen memory on gen2 for the time being.
Then SandyBridge enlarged the PCI register to a full 32-bits and change
the encoding of the address, so even though we happened to be querying
the right register, we read the wrong bits and ended up using address 0
for our stolen data, i.e. notably FBC.

Remove redundant DRM UAPI header #inclusions from drivers/gpu/.
Remove redundant #inclusions of core DRM UAPI headers (drm.h, drm_mode.h and
drm_sarea.h). They are now #included via drmP.h and drm_crtc.h via a preceding
patch.
Without this patch and the patch to make include the UAPI headers from the core
headers, after the UAPI split, the DRM C sources cannot find these UAPI headers
because the DRM code relies on specific -I flags to make #include "..." work
on headers in include/drm/ - but that does not work after the UAPI split without
adding more -I flags.

We slightly modify the initialisation sequence to move the
initialisation of the memory managers earlier and in particular before
probing outputs and detecting any existing output configuration. This is
essential if we wish to track preallocated objects and preserve them
whilst initialising GEM.
