drm: Implement DRM aperture helpers under video/

Implement DRM's aperture helpers under video/ for sharing with other
sub-systems. Remove DRM-isms from the interface. The helpers track
the ownership of framebuffer apertures and provide hand-over from
firmware, such as EFI and VESA, to native graphics drivers.

Other subsystems, such as fbdev and vfio, also have to maintain ownership
of framebuffer apertures. Moving DRM's aperture helpers to a more public
location allows all subsystems to interact with each other and share a
common implementation.

The aperture helpers are selected by the various firmware drivers within
DRM and fbdev, and the VGA text-console driver.

The original DRM interface is kept in place for use by DRM drivers.

v3:
* prefix all interfaces with aperture_ (Javier)
* rework and simplify documentation (Javier)
* rename struct dev_aperture to struct aperture_range
* rebase onto latest DRM
* update MAINTAINERS entry

+/**
+ * DOC: overview
+ *
+ * A graphics device might be supported by different drivers, but only one
+ * driver can be active at any given time. Many systems load a generic
+ * graphics drivers, such as EFI-GOP or VESA, early during the boot process.
+ * During later boot stages, they replace the generic driver with a dedicated,
+ * hardware-specific driver. To take over the device the dedicated driver
+ * first has to remove the generic driver. Aperture functions manage
+ * ownership of framebuffer memory and hand-over between drivers.
+ *
+ * Graphics drivers should call aperture_remove_conflicting_devices()
+ * at the top of their probe function. The function removes any generic
+ * driver that is currently associated with the given framebuffer memory.
+ * An example for a graphics device on the platform bus is shown below.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	static int example_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ *	{
+ *		struct resource *mem;
+ *		resource_size_t base, size;
+ *		int ret;
+ *
+ *		mem = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
+ *		if (!mem)
+ *			return -ENODEV;
+ *		base = mem->start;
+ *		size = resource_size(mem);
+ *
+ *		ret = aperture_remove_conflicting_devices(base, size, false, "example");
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			return ret;
+ *
+ *		// Initialize the hardware
+ *		...
+ *
+ *		return 0;
+ *	}
+ *
+ *	static const struct platform_driver example_driver = {
+ *		.probe = example_probe,
+ *		...
+ *	};
+ *
+ * The given example reads the platform device's I/O-memory range from the
+ * device instance. An active framebuffer will be located within this range.
+ * The call to aperture_remove_conflicting_devices() releases drivers that
+ * have previously claimed ownership of the range and are currently driving
+ * output on the framebuffer. If successful, the new driver can take over
+ * the device.
+ *
+ * While the given example uses a platform device, the aperture helpers work
+ * with every bus that has an addressable framebuffer. In the case of PCI,
+ * device drivers can also call aperture_remove_conflicting_pci_devices() and
+ * let the function detect the apertures automatically. Device drivers without
+ * knowledge of the framebuffer's location can call
+ * aperture_remove_all_conflicting_devices(), which removes all known devices.
+ *
+ * Drivers that are susceptible to being removed by other drivers, such as
+ * generic EFI or VESA drivers, have to register themselves as owners of their
+ * framebuffer apertures. Ownership of the framebuffer memory is achieved
+ * by calling devm_aperture_acquire_for_platform_device(). If successful, the
+ * driveris the owner of the framebuffer range. The function fails if the
+ * framebuffer is already owned by another driver. See below for an example.
+ *
+ * .. code-block:: c
+ *
+ *	static int generic_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
+ *	{
+ *		struct resource *mem;
+ *		resource_size_t base, size;
+ *
+ *		mem = platform_get_resource(pdev, IORESOURCE_MEM, 0);
+ *		if (!mem)
+ *			return -ENODEV;
+ *		base = mem->start;
+ *		size = resource_size(mem);
+ *
+ *		ret = devm_aperture_acquire_for_platform_device(pdev, base, size);
+ *		if (ret)
+ *			return ret;
+ *
+ *		// Initialize the hardware
+ *		...
+ *
+ *		return 0;
+ *	}
+ *
+ *	static int generic_remove(struct platform_device *)
+ *	{
+ *		// Hot-unplug the device
+ *		...
+ *
+ *		return 0;
+ *	}
+ *
+ *	static const struct platform_driver generic_driver = {
+ *		.probe = generic_probe,
+ *		.remove = generic_remove,
+ *		...
+ *	};
+ *
+ * The similar to the previous example, the generic driver claims ownership
+ * of the framebuffer memory from its probe function. This will fail if the
+ * memory range, or parts of it, is already owned by another driver.
+ *
+ * If successful, the generic driver is now subject to forced removal by
+ * another driver. This only works for platform drivers that support hot
+ * unplugging. When a driver calls aperture_remove_conflicting_devices()
+ * et al for the registered framebuffer range, the aperture helpers call
+ * platform_device_unregister() and the generic driver unloads itself. The
+ * generic driver also has to provide a remove function to make this work.
+ * Once hot unplugged fro mhardware, it may not access the device's
+ * registers, framebuffer memory, ROM, etc afterwards.
