  • This is step one towards having multiple masters sharing a drm
    device in order to get fast-user-switching to work.

    It splits out the information associated with the drm master
    into a separate kref counted structure, and allocates this when
    a master opens the device node. It also allows the current master
    to abdicate (say while VT switched), and a new master to take over
    the hardware.

    It moves the Intel and radeon drivers to using the sarea from
    within the new master structures.

  • With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
    the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
    starting to be unmanageable.

    This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.

    It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
    subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
    sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
