Ben Widawsky e76e9aebcd drm/i915: Stop using AGP layer for GEN6+
As a quick hack we make the old intel_gtt structure mutable so we can
fool a bunch of the existing code which depends on elements in that data
structure. We can/should try to remove this in a subsequent patch.

This should preserve the old gtt init behavior which upon writing these
patches seems incorrect. The next patch will fix these things.

The one exception is VLV which doesn't have the preserved flush control
write behavior. Since we want to do that for all GEN6+ stuff, we'll
handle that in a later patch. Mainstream VLV support doesn't actually
exist yet anyway.

v2: Update the comment to remove the "voodoo"
Check that the last pte written matches what we readback

v3: actually kill cache_level_to_agp_type since most of the flags will
disappear in an upcoming patch

v4: v3 was actually not what we wanted (Daniel)
Make the ggtt bind assertions better and stricter (Chris)
Fix some uncaught errors at gtt init (Chris)
Some other random stuff that Chris wanted

v5: check for i==0 in gen6_ggtt_bind_object to shut up gcc (Ben)

[danvet: Make the cache_level -> agp_flags conversion for pre-gen6 a
tad more robust by mapping everything != CACHE_NONE to the cached agp
flag - we have a 1:1 uncached mapping, but different modes of
cacheable (at least on later generations). Suggested by Chris Wilson.]

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.
