Chris Wilson 57822dc6b9 drm/i915: Perform object clflushing asynchronously
Flushing the cachelines for an object is slow, can be as much as 100ms
for a large framebuffer. We currently do this under the struct_mutex BKL
on execution or on pageflip. But now with the ability to add fences to
obj->resv for both flips and execbuf (and we naturally wait on the fence
before CPU access), we can move the clflush operation to a workqueue and
signal a fence for completion, thereby doing the work asynchronously and
not blocking the driver or its clients.

v2: Introduce i915_gem_clflush.h and use a new name, split out some
extras into separate patches.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
