[PATCH v7 0/7] Reorganise calls to vmap() GEM objects

[Dave Gordon <david.s.gordon@intel.com>]

Alex Dai and Chris Wilson have both recently posted patches to
rationalise the use of vmap() for mapping GEM objects into kernel
virtual space. However, they addressed different areas, with Alex's
patch being derived from the copy_batch() code, whereas Chris' patch
refactored the dma-buf and ringbuffer code.

So this patchset unifies the two, copying Chris' interfaces which
unite pin-and-vmap for convenient lifecycle management, but using
Alex's code underneath to permit partial mappings. And finally
there's a little optimisation I've added for "small" objects e.g.
ringbuffers and contexts, which are expected to be the objects most
commonly handled by this code.

v5:
  Added another of Chris' patches, introducing drm_malloc_gfp().

  Split Chris' original patch into three, of which two are actually
  minor unrelated improvements, and only one is actually addresses
  the vmap() reorganisation [Tvrtko Ursulin]

  Decided not to hold onto vmappings after the pin count goes to
  zero. This may reduce the benefit of Chris' scheme somewhat, but
  does avoid any increased risk of exhausting kernel vmap space on
  32-bit kernels [Tvrtko Ursulin]. Potentially, the vunmap() could
  be moved back to the put_pages() stage (thus extending the cache
  lifetime) if a suitable notifier were written, but that's not
  included here.

v6:
  Addressed a few review comments by Tvrtko & Chris; the main
  functional change is that i915_gem_object_vmap_range() now takes
  a range in bytes rather than pages, so we use sg_nents_for_len()
  to validate it against the actual scatterlist.

v7:
  Reverted to passing range specification in pages not bytes, and
  allow npages==0 as a shorthand for "up to the end of the object".
  Reordered patch sequence, with the most local changes first and
  the optional ones at the end.
