So I've stumbled over drm_fasync and wondered what it does. Digging
that up is quite a story.
First I've had to read up on what this does and ended up being rather
bewildered why peopled loved signals so much back in the days that
they've created SIGIO just for that ...
Then I wondered how this ever works, and what that strange "No-op."
comment right above it should mean. After all calling the core fasync
helper is pretty obviously not a noop. After reading through the
kernels FASYNC implementation I've noticed that signals are only sent
out to the processes attached with FASYNC by calling kill_fasync.
No merged drm driver has ever done that.
After more digging I've found out that the only driver that ever used
this is the so called GAMMA driver. I've frankly never heard of such a
gpu brand ever before. Now FASYNC seems to not have been the only bad
thing with that driver, since Dave Airlie removed it from the drm
driver with prejudice:

Drop GAMMA DRM from a great height ...
Long story short, the drm fasync support seems to be doing absolutely
nothing. And the only user of it was never merged into the upstream
kernel. And we don't need any fops->fasync callback since the fcntl
implementation in the kernel already implements the noop case
correctly.
So stop this particular cargo-cult and rip it all out.
v2: Kill drm_fasync assignments in rcar (newly added) and imx drivers
(somehow I've missed that one in staging). Also drop the reference in
the drm DocBook. ARM compile-fail reported by Rob Clark.
v3: Move the removal of dev->buf_asnyc assignment in drm_setup to this
patch here.
v4: Actually git add ... tsk.

All the gem based kms drivers really want the same function to
destroy a dumb framebuffer backing storage object.
So give it to them and roll it out in all drivers.
This still leaves the option open for kms drivers which don't use GEM
for backing storage, but it does decently simplify matters for gem
drivers.

This adds suspend/resume and hibernate support for the KMS driver. it evicts
all the objects, turns off the outputs, and waits for the hw to go idle,
On resume, it resets the memslots, rings, monitors object and forces modeset.

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.

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.
