Thomas Zimmermann 96352eca5c drm: Add VRAM MM, a simple memory manager for dedicated VRAM
The VRAM MM memory manager is a helper library that manages dedicated video
memory of simple framebuffer devices. It is supported to be used with
struct drm_gem_vram_object, but does not depend on it.

The implementation is based on the respective code from ast, bochs, and
mgag200. These drivers share the exact same implementation except for type
names. The helpers are currently build with TTM. This may change in future
revisions.

v4:
	* cleanups from checkpatch.pl
v2:
	* renamed to struct drm_vram_mm
	* add drm_vram_mm_mmap() helper
	* documentation fixes

README

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

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
