In order to reduce the penalty of fallbacks under memory pressure and to
avoid a potential immediate ping-pong of evicting a mmaped buffer, we
move the object to the tail of the inactive list when a page is freshly
faulted or the object is moved into the CPU domain.
We choose not to protect the CPU objects from casual eviction,
preferring to keep the GPU active for as long as possible.
v2: Daniel Vetter found a bug where I forgot that pinned objects are
kept off the inactive list.

Based in a large part upon Daniel Vetter's implementation and adapted
for handling multiple rings in a single pass.
This should lead to better gtt usage and fixes the page-fault-of-doom
triggered. The fairness is provided by scanning through the GTT space
amalgamating space in rendering order. As soon as we have a contiguous
space in the GTT large enough for the new object (and its alignment),
evict any object which lies within that space. This should keep more
objects resident in the GTT.
Doing throughput testing on a PineView machine with cairo-perf-trace
indicates that there is very little difference with the new LRU scan,
perhaps a small improvement... Except oddly for the poppler trace.

This does two little changes:
- Add an alignment parameter for evict_something. It's not really great to
whack a carefully sized hole into the gtt with the wrong alignment.
Especially since the fallback path is a full evict.
- With the inactive scan stuff we need to evict more that one object, so
move the unbind call into the helper function that scans for the object
to be evicted, too. And adjust its name.
No functional changes in this patch, just preparation.

My i855GM suffers from a 80k/s interrupt storm without this.
So add 2nd gen to the list of things that don't like more than
one outstanding pageflip request.
Furthermore I've changed the busy loop into a ringbuffer wait.
Busy-loops that don't check whether the chip died are simply evil.
And performance should actually improve, because there's usually
a decent amount of rendering queued on the gpu, hopefully rendering
that MI_WAIT into a noop by the time it's executed.
The current code holds dev->struct_mutex while executing this loop,
hence stalling all other gem activity anyway.

Commit 69309a0590 ("x86, asm: Clean up and simplify set_64bit()")
sanitized the x86-64 types to set_64bit(), and incidentally resulted in
warnings like
drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c: In function 'modify_irte':
drivers/pci/intr_remapping.c:314: warning: passing argument 1 of 'set_64bit' from incompatible pointer type
arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg_64.h:6: note:expected 'volatile u64 *' but argument is of type 'long unsigned int *'
It turns out that the change to set_64bit() really does clean up things,
and the PCI intr_remapping.c file did a rather ugly cast in order to
avoid warnings with the previous set_64bit() type model.
Removing the ugly cast fixes the warning, and makes everybody happy and
expects a set_64bit() to take the logical "u64 *" argument.

Make /dev/console get initialised before any initialisation routine that
invokes modprobe because if modprobe fails, it's going to want to open
/dev/console, presumably to write an error message to.
The problem with that is that if the /dev/console driver is not yet
initialised, the chardev handler will call request_module() to invoke
modprobe, which will fail, because we never compile /dev/console as a
module.
This will lead to a modprobe loop, showing the following in the kernel
log:
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
request_module: runaway loop modprobe char-major-5-1
This can happen, for example, when the built in md5 module can't find
the built in cryptomgr module (because the latter fails to initialise).
The md5 module comes before the call to tty_init(), presumably because
'crypto' comes before 'drivers' alphabetically.
Fix this by calling tty_init() from chrdev_init().
