Subject: [PATCH v6 0/6] drm/i915/gvt: Dma-buf support for GVT-g

v5->v6:
1) align the dma-buf life cycle with the vfio device.
2) add the dma-buf releated operations in a separate patch.
3) i915 releated changes.

v4->v5:
1) fix bug while checking whether the gem obj is gvt's dma-buf when user
change caching mode or domains. Add a helper function to do it.
2) add definition for the query plane and create dma-buf.

v3->v4:
1) fix bug while checking whether the gem obj is gvt's dma-buf when set
caching mode or doamins.

v2->v3:
1) add a field gvt_plane_info in the drm_i915_gem_obj structure to save
the decoded plane information to avoid look up while need the plane info.
2) declare a new flag I915_GEM_OBJECT_IS_GVT_DMABUF in drm_i915_gem_object
to represent the gem obj for gvt's dma-buf. The tiling mode, caching mode
and domains can not be changed for this kind of gem object.
3) change dma-buf related information to be more generic. So other vendor
can use the same interface.

v1->v2:
1) create a management fd for dma-buf operations.
2) alloc gem object's backing storage in gem obj's get_pages() callback.

This patch set adds the dma-buf support for intel GVT-g.
dma-buf is a uniform mechanism to share DMA buffers across different
devices and sub-systems.
dma-buf for intel GVT-g is mainly used to share the vgpu's framebuffer
to other users or sub-systems so they can use the dma-buf to show the
desktop of a vm which uses intel vgpu.

The main idea is we create a gem object and set vgpu's framebuffer as
the backing storage of this gem object. And associate this gem obj
to a dma-buf object then export this dma-buf at the meantime
generate a file descriptor for this dma-buf. Finally deliver this file
descriptor to user space. And user can use this dma-buf fd to do render
or other operations.
User need to create a fd(for intel GVT-g dma-buf support it is a:dma-buf
management fd) then user can use this fd to query the plane information
or create a dma-buf. The life cycle of this fd is managed by GVT-g user
do not need to care about that.

We have an example program on how to use the dma-buf. You can download
the program to have a try. Good luck :)
