This patch changes the way the primary surface is used for dumb
framebuffers. Instead of configuring the bo itself as primary surface
a shadow bo is created and used instead. Framebuffers can share the
shadow bo in case they have the same format and resolution.
On atomic plane updates we don't have to update the primary surface in
case we pageflip from one framebuffer to another framebuffer which
shares the same shadow. This in turn avoids the flicker caused by the
primary-destroy + primary-create cycle, which is very annonying when
running wayland on qxl.
The qxl driver never actually writes to the shadow bo. It sends qxl
blit commands which update it though, and the spice server might
actually execute them (and thereby write to the shadow) in case the
local rendering is kicked for some reason. This happens for example in
case qemu is asked to write out a dump of the guest display (screendump
monitor command).

drm_gem_object_lookup() has never required the drm_device for its file
local translation of the user handle to the GEM object. Let's remove the
unused parameter and save some space.

All the gem based kms drivers really want the same function to
destroy a dumb framebuffer backing storage object.
So give it to them and roll it out in all drivers.
This still leaves the option open for kms drivers which don't use GEM
for backing storage, but it does decently simplify matters for gem
drivers.

QXL is a paravirtual graphics device used by the Spice virtual desktop
interface.
The drivers uses GEM and TTM to manage memory, the qxl hw fencing however
is quite different than normal TTM expects, we have to keep track of a number
of non-linear fence ids per bo that we need to have released by the hardware.
The releases are freed from a workqueue that wakes up and processes the
release ring.
releases are suballocated from a BO, there are 3 release categories, drawables,
surfaces and cursor cmds. The hw also has 3 rings for commands, cursor and release handling.
The hardware also have a surface id tracking mechnaism and the driver encapsulates it completely inside the kernel, userspace never sees the actual hw surface
ids.
This requires a newer version of the QXL userspace driver, so shouldn't be
enabled until that has been placed into your distro of choice.
