This commit adds a ioctl and property to allow userspace
to notify the kernel that a framebuffer has changed. Instead
of snooping the command stream this allows finer grained
tracking of which areas have changed.
The primary user for this functionality is virtual hardware
like the vmware svga device, but also Xen hardware likes to
be notify. There is also real hardware like DisplayLink and
DisplayPort that might take advantage of this ioctl.

This let's use use the linux drm headers as the canonical source for
libdrm on all platforms.

This adds a page flipping ioctl to the KMS API. The ioctl takes an fb ID
and a ctrc ID and flips the crtc to the given fb at the next vblank.
The ioctl returns immediately but the flip doesn't happen until after
any rendering that's currently queued up against the new framebuffer
is done. After submitting a page flip, any execbuffer involving the
old front buffer will block until the flip is completed.
Optionally, a vblank event can be generated when the swap eventually
happens.

Now that we're using the scaling property in the Intel driver I noticed
that the names were a bit confusing. I've corrected them according to
our discussion on IRC and the mailing list, though I've left out
potential new additions for a new scaling property with an integer (or
two) for the scaling factor. None of the drivers implement that today,
but if someone wants to do it, I think it could be done with the
addition of a single new type and a new property to describe the
scaling factor in the X and Y directions.

The existing TV connector types are often unsuitable either because
there is no way to probe them until they're actually plugged in or
because they can change during run time (e.g. 7-pin DIN connectors
that behave as S-Video, Component, Composite or SCART depending on the
adaptor plugged in).

The drm headers are traditionally shared with BSD and
could not use the strict linux integer types. This is
over now, so we can use our own types now.

The initially merged modesetting API has some uglies in it, this
cleans up the struct members and ioctl ordering for initial submission.
It also removes the unneeded hotplug infrastructure.

Add mode setting support to the DRM layer.
This is a fairly big chunk of work that allows DRM drivers to provide
full output control and configuration capabilities to userspace. It was
motivated by several factors:
- the fb layer's APIs aren't suited for anything but simple
configurations
- coordination between the fb layer, DRM layer, and various userspace
drivers is poor to non-existent (radeonfb excepted)
- user level mode setting drivers makes displaying panic & oops
messages more difficult
- suspend/resume of graphics state is possible in many more
configurations with kernel level support
This commit just adds the core DRM part of the mode setting APIs.
Driver specific commits using these new structure and APIs will follow.
