PCI/GPU: implement VGA arbitration on Linux Background: Graphic devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. While most modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994 Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1" Section 7, Legacy Devices. The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server currently does the task of arbitration when more than one legacy device co-exists on the same machine. But the problem happens when these devices are trying to be accessed by different userspace clients (e.g. two server in parallel). Their address assignments conflict. Therefore an arbitration scheme _outside_ of the X server is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document introduces the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for Linux kernel.

config VGA_ARB
kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

Some "legacy" VGA devices implemented on PCI typically have the same
hard-decoded addresses as they did on ISA. When multiple PCI devices
are accessed at same time they need some kind of coordination. Please
