Dave Airlie 3314fdf8b4 Merge branch 'drm-fb-helper' of git://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm into drm-next
This is the drm fb helper cleanup, mostly motivated by strange things I've
seen in my locking rework and the i915 modeset revamp. Compared to the
original submission I've reinstated the setup flexibility you'd like to
retain, kerneldoc has been reviewed by Laurent Pinchart and Rob Clark
reviewed the code changes.

Quick overview of the changes:
- Cleaned-up library interface for drivers using the fb helper, also
  simplified the fb allocation callback since no driver supported
  reallocating the fb on-the-fly. And the fbdev/fbcon code keeps pointers
  to the old mapping around anyway, so reallocating backing storage will
  be much more work.
- No longer call the crtc helper "disable everything" function at init
  time, but allow drivers to do so. Motivated by i915's fastboot effort
  and allows us to drop a bunch of noop dummy functions just to avoid
  calling NULL function pointers from i915.ko.
- Properly clear old state when doing modeset calls, the fb helper left
  some old modes in there and unconditionally set an fb (even when
  disabling a crtc). The crtc helpers didn't care, but i915 modeset code
  can now drop a few special cases.
- Full kerneldoc for the fb helper. Yay!
- My version of the "don't sleep in panic ->unblank calls". The patch is
  already in -mm, I guess Andrew can drop it as soon as this pull lands in
  drm-next.

************************************************************

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
