Subject: [PATCH 00/13] pwrite/pread rework

Hi all,

I've finally managed to clean up my pwrite/pread rework. Major changes since the
first submission:
- fixed a bunch of bugs, some of them discovered by the intel-gpu-tools gem test
  suite
- extracted the clflush helper into common drm code as suggested by Chris
  Wilson.
- extended the prefault helpers in pagemap.h instead of rolling our own. Also
  add a patch to not prefault for writes (which change the userspace memory)
  before we're committed to the write. Both address issues raised by Keith
  Packard.

Why this is cool stuff:
- fixes the spurious -EFAULTS when handing in a pointer to a gem gtt mappings.
  See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38115
- Kills a bunch of code by dropping the practically useless ranged cpu read
  domain tracking and integrating the slow paths into the fast paths.
- Fixes pwrite/pread to use snooped cpu access on llc machines, hereby decently
  speeding up microbenchmarks.
- Paves the way for further clever tricks to reduce pressure on the mappable gtt
  area.

Reviews and comments highly welcome.

Yours, Daniel
