This commit changes nouveau to construct PTEs which look very much like
the ones the binary driver creates.
I presume that filling multiple PTEs identically with length flags and
the physical address of the start of a block of VRAM is a hint to the
memory controller that it need not perform additional page table lookups
for that range of addresses.

Currently, we take down the sgdma engine without evicting all buffers
from VRAM.
The TTM device release will try to evict anything in VRAM to GART
memory, but this will fail since sgdma has already been taken down.
This causes an infinite loop in kernel mode on module unload.
It usually doesn't happen because there aren't any buffer on close.
However, if the GPU is locked up, this condition is easily triggered.
This patch fixes it in the simplest way possible by cleaning VRAM
right before cleaning SGDMA memory.

This is to prevent things such as GART tables and other important GPU
structures being allocated there before we take over fbcon ourselves.
This is more of a workaround for the moment, a better solution will
require some more invasive changes, but it'll be done at some point.

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.
This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
nouveau.freedesktop.org.
