The push-to-system function forces a buffer out of video RAM. This decision
should rather be made by the memory manager. By replacing the function with
calls to the kunmap and unpin functions, the buffer's memory becomes available,
but the buffer remains in VRAM until it's evicted by a pin operation.
This patch replaces the remaining instances of drm_gem_vram_push_to_system()
in ast and mgag200, and removes the function from DRM.

There's now a pointer to struct drm_vram_mm stored in struct drm_device.
DRM drivers that use VRAM MM should use this field to refer to their
instance of the data structure. Appropriate helpers are now provided as
well.
Adding struct drm_vram_mm to struct drm_device further avoids wrappers
and boilerplate code in drivers. This patch implements default functions
for callbacks in struct drm_driver and struct file_operations that use
the struct drm_vram_mm stored in struct drm_device. Drivers that need to
provide their own implementations can still do so.
The patch also adds documentation for the VRAM helper library in general.
v5:
* set .llseek to no_llseek() from DRM_VRAM_MM_FILE_OPERATIONS
v4:
* cleanups from checkpatch.pl
* document VRAM helper library

The type |struct drm_gem_vram_object| implements a GEM object for simple
framebuffer devices with dedicated video memory. The BO is either located
in VRAM or system memory.
The implementation has been created from the respective code in ast,
bochs and mgag200. These drivers copy their implementation from each
other; except for the names of several data types. The helpers are
currently build with TTM, but this is considered an implementation
detail and may change in future updates.
v5:
* do WARN_ON_ONCE for pin-count mismatches
* allocate only 2 entries in placements array
v4:
* cleanups from checkpatch.pl
* removed several fixed-size types from interfaces
* DRM_VRAM_HELPER now selects DRM_TTM
* remove separate config option for GEM VRAM
v2:
* rename to |struct drm_gem_vram_object|
* move drm_is_gem_ttm() to a later patch in the series
* add drm_gem_vram_kmap_at()
* return is_iomem from kmap functions
* redefine TTM placement flags for public interface
* documentation fixes
