The recent addition of lockdep support to reservations and their subsequent
use by TTM showed up a number of potential problems with the way qxl was using
TTM objects.
a) it was allocating objects, and reserving them later without validating
underneath the reservation, which meant in extreme conditions the objects could
be evicted before the reservation ever used them.
b) it was reserving objects straight after allocating them, but with no
ability to back off should the reservations fail. It now allocates the necessary
objects then does a complete reservation pass on them to avoid deadlocks.
c) it had two lists per release tracking objects, unnecessary complicating
the reservation process.
This patch removes the dual object tracking, adds reservations ticket support
to the release and fence object handling. It then ports the internal fb
drawing code and the userspace facing ioctl to use the new interfaces properly,
along with cleanup up the error path handling in some codepaths.

In order to fix an issue with reservations we need to create the releases
as pre-pinned objects, this changes the placement interface and bo creation
interface to allow creating pinned objects to save nested reservations later.
This is just a stepping stone to main fix which follows to actually fix how
qxl deals with reservations.

This adds support for a default of 4 heads, with a command line
parameter to change the default number.
It also overhauls the modesetting code to handle this case properly,
and send the correct things to the hardware at the right time.

So qxl has ioports, but it really really really doesn't want you
to write to them twice, but if you write and get a signal before
the irq arrives to let you know its completed, you have to think
ahead and avoid writing another time.
However this works fine for update area where really multiple
writes aren't the end of the world, however with create primary
surface, you can't ever do multiple writes. So this stop internal
kernel writes from doing interruptible waits, because otherwise
we have no idea if this write is a new one or a continuation of
a previous one.
virtual hw sucks more than real hw.
This fixes lockups and VM crashes when resizing and starting/stopping
X.

QXL is a paravirtual graphics device used by the Spice virtual desktop
interface.
The drivers uses GEM and TTM to manage memory, the qxl hw fencing however
is quite different than normal TTM expects, we have to keep track of a number
of non-linear fence ids per bo that we need to have released by the hardware.
The releases are freed from a workqueue that wakes up and processes the
release ring.
releases are suballocated from a BO, there are 3 release categories, drawables,
surfaces and cursor cmds. The hw also has 3 rings for commands, cursor and release handling.
The hardware also have a surface id tracking mechnaism and the driver encapsulates it completely inside the kernel, userspace never sees the actual hw surface
ids.
This requires a newer version of the QXL userspace driver, so shouldn't be
enabled until that has been placed into your distro of choice.
