Thomas Hellstrom 79273e1b7e drm/vmwgfx: Add a cpu blit utility that can be used for page-backed bos
The utility uses kmap_atomic() instead of vmapping the whole buffer
object. As a result there will be more book-keeping but on some
architectures this will help avoid exhausting vmalloc space and also
avoid expensive TLB flushes.

The blit utility also adds a provision to compute a bounding box of
changed content, which is very useful to optimize presentation speed
of ill-behaved applications that don't supply proper damage regions, and
for page-flips. The cost of computing the bounding box is not that
expensive when done in a cpu-blit utility like this.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
