Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] drm: Add fbdev deferred io support to helpers

This patchset adds fbdev deferred io support to drm_fb_helper and
drm_fb_cma_helper.

It channels fbdev mmap and fb_{write,fillrect,copyarea,imageblit} damage
through the (struct drm_framebuffer_funcs)->dirty callback on the
fb_helper framebuffer which will always run in process context.

I have also added patches that converts qxl and udl to use this
deferred io support. I have only compile tested it, no functional testing.
I know that qxl is purely a software thing so I could actually test it, but
I have never used qemu so I'm not keen on spending a lot of time on that.

This was originally part of the tinydrm patchset.

Changes since v1:
- drm/fb-helper: Add fb_deferred_io support
  - Use a dedicated worker to run the framebuffer flushing like qxl does
  - Add parameter descriptions to drm_fb_helper_deferred_io
- fbdev: fb_defio: Export fb_deferred_io_mmap
  - Expand commit message
- drm/qxl: Use drm_fb_helper deferred_io support
  - Add FIXME about special dirty() callback for fbdev
  - Remove note in commit message about deferred worker, drm_fb_helper
    is similar to qxl now.
- drm/udl: Use drm_fb_helper deferred_io support
  - No need to enable deferred_io by default since drm_fb_helper uses
    a dedicated worker for flushing

Changes since RFC:
- Fix drm_clip_rect use to be exclusive on x2/y2
- Put drm_clip_rect functions in drm_rect.{h,c}
- Take into account that (struct fb_ops *)->fb_{write,...}() can be called
  from atomic context (spin_lock_irqsave)
- Export fb_deferred_io_mmap()
- Add some more documentation
- Add qxl and udl patches

Noralf Trønnes (8):
  drm/rect: Add some drm_clip_rect utility functions
  drm/udl: Change drm_fb_helper_sys_*() calls to sys_*()
  drm/qxl: Change drm_fb_helper_sys_*() calls to sys_*()
  drm/fb-helper: Add fb_deferred_io support
  fbdev: fb_defio: Export fb_deferred_io_mmap
  drm/fb-cma-helper: Add fb_deferred_io support
  drm/qxl: Use drm_fb_helper deferred_io support
  drm/udl: Use drm_fb_helper deferred_io support
