I wrote this for the prime sharing work, but I also noticed other external
non-upstream drivers from a large company carrying a similiar patch, so I
may as well ship it in master.

On AGP system we might allocate/free routinely uncached or wc memory,
changing page from cached (wb) to uc or wc is very expensive and involves
a lot of flushing. To improve performance this allocator use a pool
of uc,wc pages.
Pools are protected with spinlocks to allow multiple threads to allocate pages
simultanously. Expensive operations are done outside of spinlock to maximize
concurrency.
Pools are linked lists of pages that were recently freed. mm shrink callback
allows kernel to claim back pages when they are required for something else.
Fixes:
* set_pages_array_wb handles highmem pages so we don't have to remove them
from pool.
* Add count parameter to ttm_put_pages to avoid looping in free code.
* Change looping from _safe to normal in pool fill error path.
* Initialize sum variable and make the loop prettier in get_num_unused_pages.
* Moved pages_freed reseting inside the loop in ttm_page_pool_free.
* Add warning comment about spinlock context in ttm_page_pool_free.
Based on Jerome Glisse's and Dave Airlie's pool allocator.

This is intended to be used by ttm-aware drivers to
1) Block clients to inactive masters when
they try to validate buffers for GPU use.
2) Optionally block clients to the current master when
there is thrashing due to GPU memory shortage.
Used by the vmwgfx driver.

Add objects needed for user-space to maintain reference counts on ttm objects.
This is used by the vmwgfx driver which allows user-space to maintain
map-counts on dma buffers, lock-counts on the ttm lock and ref-counts on
gpu surfaces, gpu contexts and dma buffer.

TTM is a GPU memory manager subsystem designed for use with GPU
devices with various memory types (On-card VRAM, AGP,
PCI apertures etc.). It's essentially a helper library that assists
the DRM driver in creating and managing persistent buffer objects.
TTM manages placement of data and CPU map setup and teardown on
data movement. It can also optionally manage synchronization of
data on a per-buffer-object level.
TTM takes care to provide an always valid virtual user-space address
to a buffer object which makes user-space sub-allocation of
big buffer objects feasible.
TTM uses a fine-grained per buffer-object locking scheme, taking
care to release all relevant locks when waiting for the GPU.
Although this implies some locking overhead, it's probably a big
win for devices with multiple command submission mechanisms, since
the lock contention will be minimal.
TTM can be used with whatever user-space interface the driver
chooses, including GEM. It's used by the upcoming Radeon KMS DRM driver
and is also the GPU memory management core of various new experimental
DRM drivers.
