This simplifies the code quite a bit compared to iterating over all
rings during the ring interrupt.
Also, it allows us to drop the mmio_flip spinlock, since the mmio_flip
struct is only accessed in two places. The first is when the flip is
queued and the other when the mmio writes are done. Since a flip cannot
be queued while there is a pending flip, the two paths shouldn't ever
run in parallel. We might need to revisit that if support for replacing
flips is implemented though.

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:
