Way back in January this patchset:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2011-January/006905.html
was merged in, but pieces of it had to be reverted b/c they did not
work properly under PowerPC, ARM, and when swapping out pages to disk.

After a bit of discussion on the mailing list
http://marc.info/?i=4D769726.2030307@shipmail.org I started working on it, but
got waylaid by other things .. and finally I am able to post the RFC patches.

There was a lot of discussion about it and I am not sure if I captured
everybody's thoughts - if I did not - that is _not_ intentional - it has just
been quite some time..

Anyhow .. the patches explore what the "lib/dmapool.c" does - which is to have a
DMA pool that the device has associated with. I kind of married that code
along with drivers/gpu/drm/ttm/ttm_page_alloc.c to create a TTM DMA pool code.
The end result is DMA pool with extra features: can do write-combine, uncached,
writeback (and tracks them and sets back to WB when freed); tracks "cached"
pages that don't really need to be returned to a pool; and hooks up to
the shrinker code so that the pools can be shrunk.

If you guys think this set of patches make sense  - my future plans were to
move a bulk of this in the lib/dmapool.c (I spoke with Matthew Wilcox about it
and he is OK as long as I don't introduce performance regressions).

As I mentioned, in the past, the patches I introduced broke certain scenarios
so I've been running compile/runtime tests to make sure I don't repeat my past
mistakes.  Both nouveau and radeon - IGP, PCI-e, and with various IOMMUs -
Calgary, GART, SWIOTLB, Xen SWIOTLB, AMD-VI work correctly (still need to test
Intel VT-d).

My PowerPC has issues with booting a virgin 3.0 kernel (something about
"ELF image not correct") so I don't have that yet covered.

The patches are also located in a git tree:
