Linus Torvalds f3718a818f Revert "nouveau/bios: Fix tracking of BIOS image data"
This reverts commit d06221c061.

It turns out to trigger the "BUG_ON(!PageCompound(page))" in kfree(),
apparently because the code ends up trying to free somethng that was
never kmalloced in the first place.

BenH points out that the patch was untested and wasn't meant to go into
the upstream kernel that quickly in the first place.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
    http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Documentation
