__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

Don't call the IOMMU directly, but go through the new cmdbuf abstraction.

The dumper is only a debugging aid so we don't want to invoke the OOM
killer if buffer for the potentially large GPU state can't be vmalloced.

For cmdbufs the CPU IOVA was recorded instead of the GPU one.
Fix this to make it consistent with other BOs and to make
reading the dumps easier.

This function follows the semantics of vmap() by returning
NULL in case of an error. To make things less confusing
rename it to make make both functions more closely related.

In case that etnaviv_gem_get_pages is unable to get the required
pages the object mutex needs to be unlocked. Also return NULL in
this case instead of propagating the error, as callers of this
function might not be prepared to handle a pointer error, but
expect this call to follow the semantics of a plain vmap to return
NULL in case of an error.

While all objects that get coredumped have an active IOVA and thus
pages already populated, etnaviv_gem_get_pages() still requires the
object lock to be held.

This adds the etnaviv DRM driver and hooks it up in Makefiles
