drm_ioctl is called with the Big Kernel Lock held,
which shows up very high in statistics on vfs_ioctl.
Moving the lock into the drm_ioctl function itself
makes sure we blame the right subsystem and it gets
us one step closer to eliminating the locked version
of fops->ioctl.
Since drm_ioctl does not require the lock itself,
we only need to hold it while calling the specific
handler. The 32 bit conversion handlers do not
interact with any other code, so they don't need
the BKL here either and can just call drm_ioctl.
As a bonus, this cleans up all the other users
of drm_ioctl which now no longer have to find
the inode or call lock_kernel.
[airlied: squashed the non-driver bits
of the second patch in here, this provides
the flag for drivers to use to select unlocked
ioctls - but doesn't modify any drivers].

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.
