A variety of tweaks to the NVIF library interfaces, mostly ripping out
things that turned out to be not so useful.
- Removed refcounting from nvif_object, callers are expected to not be
stupid instead.
- nvif_client is directly reachable from anything derived from nvif_object,
removing the need for heuristics to locate it
- _new() versions of interfaces, that allocate memory for the object
they construct, have been removed. The vast majority of callers used
the embedded _init() interfaces.
- No longer storing constructor arguments (and the data returned from
nvkm) inside nvif_object, it's more or less unused and just wastes
memory.

acpi_video_backlight_support() is supposed to be called by other (vendor
specific) firmware backlight controls, not by native / raw backlight controls
like nv_backlight.
Userspace will normally prefer firmware interfaces over raw interfaces, so
if acpi_video backlight support is present it will use that even if
nv_backlight is registered as well.
Except when video.use_native_backlight is present on the kernel cmdline
(or enabled through a dmi based quirk). As the name indicates the goal here
is to make only the raw interface available to userspace so that it will use
that (it only does this when it sees a win8 compliant bios).
This is done by:
1) Not registering any acpi_video# backlight devices; and
2) Making acpi_video_backlight_support() return true so that other firmware
drivers, ie acer_wmi, thinkpad_acpi, dell_laptop, etc. Don't register their
own vender specific interfaces.
Currently nouveau breaks this setup, as when acpi_video_backlight_support()
returns true, it does not register itself, resulting in no backlight control
at all.
This is esp. going to be a problem with 3.16 which will default to
video.use_native_backlight=1, and thus nouveau based laptops with a win8 bios
will get no backlight control at all.
This also likely explains why the previous attempt to make
video.use_native_backlight=1 the default was not a success, as without this
patch having a default of video.use_native_backlight=1 will cause regressions.
Note this effectively reverts commit 5bead799d3 (drm/nouveau: don't
expose backlight control when available through ACPI).

So drm was abusing device lifetimes, by having embedded device structures
in the minor and connector it meant that the lifetime of the internal drm
objects (drm_minor and drm_connector) were tied to the lifetime of the device
files in sysfs, so if something kept those files opened the current code
would kfree the objects and things would go downhill from there.
Now in reality there is no need for these lifetimes to be so intertwined,
especailly with hotplugging of devices where we wish to remove the sysfs
and userspace facing pieces before we can unwind the internal objects due
to open userspace files or mmaps, so split the objects out so the struct
device is no longer embedded and do what fbdev does and just allocate
and remove the sysfs inodes separately.

These currently just call the existing ones in nouveau_drv.c, but will be
extended in upcoming commits. This needed to be separated from the current
code as there will be some header clashes until things are ported.

We may eventually end up with per-connector backlights, especially with
ddcci devices. Make sure that the parent node for the backlight device is
the connector rather than the PCI device.

There may be multiple ways of controlling the backlight on a given
machine. Allow drivers to expose the type of interface they are
providing, making it possible for userspace to make appropriate policy
decisions.

backlight_device_register has been expecting a const "ops" argument, and using
it as such, since 9905a43b2d. Let's make the
remaining backlight_ops instances const.

Values such as max_brightness should be set before backlights are
registered, but the current API doesn't allow that. Add a parameter to
backlight_device_register and update drivers to ensure that they
set this correctly.

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.
This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
nouveau.freedesktop.org.
