This restricts the use of the big kernel lock to the i830 and i810
device drivers. The three remaining users in common code (open, ioctl
and release) get converted to a new mutex, the drm_global_mutex,
making the locking stricter than the big kernel lock.
This may have a performance impact, but only in those cases that
currently don't use DRM_UNLOCKED flag in the ioctl list and would
benefit from that anyway.
The reason why i810 and i830 cannot use drm_global_mutex in their
mmap functions is a lock-order inversion problem between the current
use of the BKL and mmap_sem in these drivers. Since the BKL has
release-on-sleep semantics, it's harmless but it would cause trouble
if we replace the BKL with a mutex.
Instead, these drivers get their own ioctl wrappers that take the
BKL around every ioctl call and then set their own handlers as
DRM_UNLOCKED.

Once upon a time, the DRM made the distinction between the drm_map
data structure exchanged with user space and the drm_local_map used
in the kernel.
For some reasons, while the BSD port still has that "feature", the
linux part abused drm_map for kernel internal usage as the local
map only existed as a typedef of the struct drm_map.
This patch fixes it by declaring struct drm_local_map separately
(though its content is currently identical to the userspace variant),
and changing the kernel code to only use that, except when it's a
user<->kernel interface (ie. ioctl).
This allows subsequent changes to the in-kernel format
I've also replaced the use of drm_local_map_t with struct drm_local_map
in a couple of places. Mostly by accident but they are the same (the
former is a typedef of the later) and I have some remote plans and
half finished patch to completely kill the drm_local_map_t typedef
so I left those bits in.

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
