Add mode setting support to the DRM layer.
This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide
full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace. It was
motivated by several factors:
- the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple
configurations
- coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace
drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted)
- user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops
messages more difficult
- suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more
configurations with kernel level support
This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs.
Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.

...so drm_getunique() is trying to copy some uninitialized data to
userspace. The ECX register contains the number of words that are
left to copy -- so there are 5 * 4 = 20 bytes left. The offset of the
first uninitialized byte (counting from the start of the string) is
also 20 (i.e. 0xf65d2294&((1 << 5)-1) == 20). So somebody tried to
copy 40 bytes when the string was only 19 long.
In drm_set_busid() we have this code:
dev->unique_len = 40;
dev->unique = drm_alloc(dev->unique_len + 1, DRM_MEM_DRIVER);
...
len = snprintf(dev->unique, dev->unique_len, pci:%04x:%02x:%02x.%d",
...so it seems that dev->unique is never updated to reflect the
actual length of the string. The remaining bytes (20 in this case)
are random uninitialized bytes that are copied into userspace.
This patch fixes the problem by setting dev->unique_len after the
snprintf().
airlied- I've had to fix this up to store the alloced size so
we have it for drm_free later.

This is step one towards having multiple masters sharing a drm
device in order to get fast-user-switching to work.
It splits out the information associated with the drm master
into a separate kref counted structure, and allocates this when
a master opens the device node. It also allows the current master
to abdicate (say while VT switched), and a new master to take over
the hardware.
It moves the Intel and radeon drivers to using the sarea from
within the new master structures.

The current sub-module unload exit path is a mess, it tries
to abuse the idr. Just keep a list of devices per driver struct
and free them in-order on rmmod.

It's not used in any other drivers, and doesn't look like it will be from
drm.git master.

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.

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.

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.
