Merge branch 'drm-docs' of ssh://people.freedesktop.org/~danvet/drm into drm-next

Here's my drm documentation update and driver api polish pull request.
Alex reviewed the entire pile, I've applied a little bit of spelling
polish in a few places since then and otherwise the Usual Suspects (David,
Rob, ...) don't seem up to have another look at it (I've poked them on
irc). So I think it's as good as it gets ;-)

Note that I've dropped the final imx breaker patch since that's blocked on
imx getting sane. Once that's landed I'll ping you to pick up that
straggler.

+/**
+ * DOC: Overview
+ *
+ * drm_mm provides a simple range allocator. The drivers are free to use the
+ * resource allocator from the linux core if it suits them, the upside of drm_mm
+ * is that it's in the DRM core. Which means that it's easier to extend for
+ * some of the crazier special purpose needs of gpus.
+ *
+ * The main data struct is &drm_mm, allocations are tracked in &drm_mm_node.
+ * Drivers are free to embed either of them into their own suitable
+ * datastructures. drm_mm itself will not do any allocations of its own, so if
+ * drivers choose not to embed nodes they need to still allocate them
+ * themselves.
+ *
+ * The range allocator also supports reservation of preallocated blocks. This is
+ * useful for taking over initial mode setting configurations from the firmware,
+ * where an object needs to be created which exactly matches the firmware's
+ * scanout target. As long as the range is still free it can be inserted anytime
+ * after the allocator is initialized, which helps with avoiding looped
+ * depencies in the driver load sequence.
+ *
+ * drm_mm maintains a stack of most recently freed holes, which of all
+ * simplistic datastructures seems to be a fairly decent approach to clustering
+ * allocations and avoiding too much fragmentation. This means free space
+ * searches are O(num_holes). Given that all the fancy features drm_mm supports
+ * something better would be fairly complex and since gfx thrashing is a fairly
+ * steep cliff not a real concern. Removing a node again is O(1).
+ *
+ * drm_mm supports a few features: Alignment and range restrictions can be
+ * supplied. Further more every &drm_mm_node has a color value (which is just an
+ * opaqua unsigned long) which in conjunction with a driver callback can be used
+ * to implement sophisticated placement restrictions. The i915 DRM driver uses
+ * this to implement guard pages between incompatible caching domains in the
+ * graphics TT.
+ *
+ * Finally iteration helpers to walk all nodes and all holes are provided as are
+ * some basic allocator dumpers for debugging.

+ * freely implemented) until a suitable hole is found or there's no further
+ * evitable object.
+ *
+ * The the driver must walk through all objects again in exactly the reverse
+ * order to restore the allocator state. Note that while the allocator is used
+ * in the scan mode no other operation is allowed.

+ * Finally the driver evicts all objects selected in the scan. Adding and
