Chris Wilson 9da3da660d drm/i915: Replace the array of pages with a scatterlist
Rather than have multiple data structures for describing our page layout
in conjunction with the array of pages, we can migrate all users over to
a scatterlist.

One major advantage, other than unifying the page tracking structures,
this offers is that we replace the vmalloc'ed array (which can be up to
a megabyte in size) with a chain of individual pages which helps reduce
memory pressure.

The disadvantage is that we then do not have a simple array to iterate,
or to access randomly. The common case for this is in the relocation
processing, which will typically fit within a single scatterlist page
and so be almost the same cost as the simple array. For iterating over
the array, the extra function call could be optimised away, but in
reality is an insignificant cost of either binding the pages, or
performing the pwrite/pread.

v2: Fix drm_clflush_sg() to not invoke wbinvd as well! And fix the
trivial compile error from rebasing.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
