TTM is a GPU memory manager subsystem designed for use with GPU
devices with various memory types (On-card VRAM, AGP,
PCI apertures etc.). It's essentially a helper library that assists
the DRM driver in creating and managing persistent buffer objects.
TTM manages placement of data and CPU map setup and teardown on
data movement. It can also optionally manage synchronization of
data on a per-buffer-object level.
TTM takes care to provide an always valid virtual user-space address
to a buffer object which makes user-space sub-allocation of
big buffer objects feasible.
TTM uses a fine-grained per buffer-object locking scheme, taking
care to release all relevant locks when waiting for the GPU.
Although this implies some locking overhead, it's probably a big
win for devices with multiple command submission mechanisms, since
the lock contention will be minimal.
TTM can be used with whatever user-space interface the driver
chooses, including GEM. It's used by the upcoming Radeon KMS DRM driver
and is also the GPU memory management core of various new experimental
DRM drivers.

People keep getting bitten by this, so just auto-select it by default,
assuming most configurations will actually want a console.

Submenus of the graphics support "Support for frame buffer devices" and
"Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)" are
broken in half after latest changes for Intel 915 mode setting support.
The DRM subsection is broken because one option is put outside the choice
section it depends on.
The frame buffers part is broken then due to circular dependency. Fix
this by make Intel frame buffers depend on CONFIG_INTEL_AGP.
Kconfigs are broken by d2f5935770
("drm/i915: select framebuffer support automatically").
This is probably not only way to fix this.

Migration helper.
The i915 driver recently added a 'depends on FB' rule to its
Kconfig entry - which silently turns off DRM_I915 if someone
has a working config but no CONFIG_FB selected, and upgrades
to the latest upstream kernel.
Norbert Preining reported this problem:
Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12599
Subject : dri /dev node disappeared with 2.6.29-rc1
So change it to "select FB", which auto-selects framebuffer
support. This way the driver keeps working, regardless of
whether FB was enabled before or not.
Kconfig select's of interactive options can be problematic to
dependencies and can cause build breakages - but in this case
it's safe because it's a leaf entry with no dependencies of its
own.
( There is some minor circular dependency fallout as FB_I810
and FB_INTEL also used 'depends on FB' constructs - update
those to "select FB" too. )

This commit adds i915 driver support for the DRM mode setting APIs.
Currently, VGA, LVDS, SDVO DVI & VGA, TV and DVO LVDS outputs are
supported. HDMI, DisplayPort and additional SDVO output support will
follow.
Support for the mode setting code is controlled by the new 'modeset'
module option. A new config option, CONFIG_DRM_I915_KMS controls the
default behavior, and whether a PCI ID list is built into the module for
use by user level module utilities.
Note that if mode setting is enabled, user level drivers that access
display registers directly or that don't use the kernel graphics memory
manager will likely corrupt kernel graphics memory, disrupt output
configuration (possibly leading to hangs and/or blank displays), and
prevent panic/oops messages from appearing. So use caution when
enabling this code; be sure your user level code supports the new
interfaces.
A new SysRq key, 'g', provides emergency support for switching back to
the kernel's framebuffer console; which is useful for testing.

We're trying to keep the !CONFIG_SHMEM tiny-shmem.c (using ramfs without
swap) in synch with CONFIG_SHMEM shmem.c (and mpm is preparing patches
to combine them). I was glad to see EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(shmem_file_setup)
go into shmem.c, but why not support DRM-GEM when !CONFIG_SHMEM too?
But caution says still depend on MMU, since !CONFIG_MMU is.. different.

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.
