Now a drm_pending_event can either send a real drm_event or signal a
fence, or both. It allow us to signal via fences when the buffer is
displayed on the screen. Which in turn means that the previous buffer
is not in use anymore and can be freed or sent back to another driver
for processing.
v2: Comments from Daniel Vetter
- call fence_signal in drm_send_event_locked()
- remove unneeded !e->event check
v3: Remove drm_pending_event->destroy to fix a leak when e->file_priv
is not set.

Now when ARC supports reserved memory areas and
per-device coherent DMA allocations we may switch ARC PGU
to use of those dedicated areas.
One of the benefits we may move frame-buffer area out
from IO Coherency aperture and so significantly
reduce IOC utilization allowing less demanding
peripherals to use all perks of IOC.

ARC PGU could be found on some development boards from Synopsys.
This is a simple byte streamer that reads data from a framebuffer
and sends data to the single encoder.
