Rather than have multiple data structures for describing our page layout
in conjunction with the array of pages, we can migrate all users over to
a scatterlist.
One major advantage, other than unifying the page tracking structures,
this offers is that we replace the vmalloc'ed array (which can be up to
a megabyte in size) with a chain of individual pages which helps reduce
memory pressure.
The disadvantage is that we then do not have a simple array to iterate,
or to access randomly. The common case for this is in the relocation
processing, which will typically fit within a single scatterlist page
and so be almost the same cost as the simple array. For iterating over
the array, the extra function call could be optimised away, but in
reality is an insignificant cost of either binding the pages, or
performing the pwrite/pread.
v2: Fix drm_clflush_sg() to not invoke wbinvd as well! And fix the
trivial compile error from rebasing.

We hit this a lot with i915 and although we'd like to engineer things to hit
it a lot less, this commit at least makes it consume a few less cycles.

I only noticed it while using perf to profile something else.

First pull request for 3.5-next, slightly large than usual because new
things kept coming in since the last pull for 3.4.
Highlights:
- first batch of hw enablement for vlv (Jesse et al) and hsw (Eugeni). pci
ids are not yet added, and there's still quite a few patches to merge
(mostly modesetting). To make QA easier I've decided to merge this stuff
in pieces.
- loads of cleanups and prep patches spurred by the above. Especially vlv
is a real frankenstein chip, but also hsw is stretching our driver's
code design. Expect more to come in this area for 3.5.
- more gmbus fixes, cleanups and improvements by Daniel Kurtz. Again,
there are more patches needed (and some already queued up), but I wanted
to split this a bit for better testing.
- pwrite/pread rework and retuning. This series has been in the works for
a few months already and a lot of i-g-t tests have been created for it.
Now it's finally ready to be merged. Note that one patch in this series
touches include/pagemap.h, that patch is acked-by akpm.
- reduce mappable pressure and relocation throughput improvements from
Chris.
- mmap offset exhaustion mitigation by Chris Wilson.
- a start at figuring out which codepaths in our messy dri1/ums+gem/kms
driver we actually need to support by bailing out of unsupported case.
The driver now refuses to load without kms on gen6+ and disallows a few
ioctls that userspace never used in certain cases. More of this will
definitely come.
- More decoupling of global gtt and ppgtt.
- Improved dual-link lvds detection by Takashi Iwai.
- Shut up the compiler + plus fix the fallout (Ben)
- Inverted panel brightness handling (mostly Acer manages to break things
in this way).
- Small fixlets and adjustements and some minor things to help debugging.
Regression-wise QA reported quite a few issues on ivb, but all of them
turned out to be hw stability issues which are already fixed in
drm-intel-fixes (QA runs the nightly regression tests on -next alone,
without -fixes automatically merged in). There's still one issue open on
snb, it looks like occlusion query writes are not quite as cache coherent
as we've expected. With some of the pwrite adjustements we can now
reliably hit this. Kernel workaround for it is in the works."

Useful when the page is already mapped to copy date in/out.
For -stable because the next patch (fixing phys obj pwrite) needs this
little helper function.

This produces a warn on for architectures where this gets called
but we don't have a cache flushing implementation suitable.

GEM allows the creation of persistent buffer objects accessible by the
graphics device through new ioctls for managing execution of commands on the
device. The userland API is almost entirely driver-specific to ensure that
any driver building on this model can easily map the interface to individual
driver requirements.
GEM is used by the 2d driver for managing its internal state allocations and
will be used for pixmap storage to reduce memory consumption and enable
zero-copy GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap, and in the 3d driver is used to enable
GL_EXT_framebuffer_object and GL_ARB_pixel_buffer_object.
