Mario Kleiner f5a8020903 drm/kms/radeon: Add support for precise vblank timestamping.
This patch adds new functions for use by the drm core:

.get_vblank_timestamp() provides a precise timestamp
for the end of the most recent (or current) vblank
interval of a given crtc, as needed for the DRI2
implementation of the OML_sync_control extension.

It is a thin wrapper around the drm function
drm_calc_vbltimestamp_from_scanoutpos() which does
almost all the work and is shared across drivers.

.get_scanout_position() provides the current horizontal
and vertical video scanout position and "in vblank"
status of a given crtc, as needed by the drm for use by
drm_calc_vbltimestamp_from_scanoutpos().

The function is also used by the dynamic gpu reclocking
code to determine when it is safe to reclock inside vblank.

For that purpose radeon_pm_in_vbl() is modified to
accomodate a small change in the function prototype of
the radeon_get_crtc_scanoutpos() which is hooked up to
.get_scanout_position().

This code has been tested on AVIVO hardware, a RV530
(ATI Mobility Radeon X1600) in a Intel Core-2 Duo MacBookPro
and some R600 variant (FireGL V7600) in a single cpu
AMD Athlon 64 PC.

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
