Ben Widawsky 2f63315692 drm/i915: Create VMAs
Formerly: "drm/i915: Create VMAs (part 1)"

In a previous patch, the notion of a VM was introduced. A VMA describes
an area of part of the VM address space. A VMA is similar to the concept
in the linux mm. However, instead of representing regular memory, a VMA
is backed by a GEM BO. There may be many VMAs for a given object, one
for each VM the object is to be used in. This may occur through flink,
dma-buf, or a number of other transient states.

Currently the code depends on only 1 VMA per object, for the global GTT
(and aliasing PPGTT). The following patches will address this and make
the rest of the infrastructure more suited

v2: s/i915_obj/i915_gem_obj (Chris)

v3: Only move an object to the now global unbound list if there are no
more VMAs for the object which are bound into a VM (ie. the list is
empty).

v4: killed obj->gtt_space
some reworks due to rebase

v5: Free vma on error path (Imre)

v6: Another missed vma free in i915_gem_object_bind_to_gtt error path
(Imre)
Fixed vma freeing in stolen preallocation (Imre)
