This patch adds serveral new ioctls and a new query to get_param query to
support PCI MGA cards.
Two ioctls were added to implement interrupt based waiting. With this change,
the client-side driver no longer needs to map the primary DMA region or the
MMIO region. Previously, end-of-frame waiting was done by busy waiting in the
client-side driver until one of the MMIO registers (the current DMA pointer)
matched a pointer to the end of primary DMA space. By using interrupts, the
busy waiting and the extra mappings are removed.
A third ioctl was added to bootstrap DMA. This ioctl, which is used by the
X-server, moves a *LOT* of code from the X-server into the kernel. This allows
the kernel to do whatever needs to be done to setup DMA buffers. The entire
process and the locations of the buffers are hidden from user-mode.
Additionally, a get_param query was added to differentiate between G4x0 cards
and G550 cards. A gap was left in the numbering sequence so that, if needed,
G450 cards could be distinguished from G400 cards. According to Ville
Syrjälä, the G4x0 cards and the G550 cards handle anisotropic filtering
differently. This seems the most compatible way to let the client-side driver
know which card it's own. Doing this very small change now eliminates the
need to bump the DRM minor version twice.

(airlied - this may not work at this point, I think the follow on buffer
cleanup patches will be needed)

Added device_is_agp callback to drm_driver. This function is called by the
platform-specific drm_device_is_agp function. Added implementation of this
function the the Linux-specific portion of the MGA driver to detect PCI G450
cards. Added code to the Linux-specific portion of the generic DRM layer to
not initialize AGP infrastructure if the card is not AGP (this matches what
already existed in BSD).
Fix up i810/i830 and i915 drivers to always return AGP as they don't always
report the capability.
Fix the MGA to not report AGP for a card that has an AGP chip behind a PCI
bridge.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
