This adds a library for shmem backed GEM objects.

v8:
- export drm_gem_shmem_create_with_handle
- call mapping_set_gfp_mask to set default zone to GFP_HIGHUSER
- Add helper drm_gem_shmem_get_pages_sgt()

v7:
- Use write-combine for mmap instead. This is the more common
  case. (robher)

v6:
- Fix uninitialized variable issue in an error path (anholt).
- Add a drm_gem_shmem_vm_open() to the fops to get proper refcounting
  of the pages (anholt).

v5:
- Drop drm_gem_shmem_prime_mmap() (Daniel Vetter)
- drm_gem_shmem_mmap(): Subtract drm_vma_node_start() to get the real
  vma->vm_pgoff
- drm_gem_shmem_fault(): Use vmf->pgoff now that vma->vm_pgoff is correct

v4:
- Drop cache modes (Thomas Hellstrom)
- Add a GEM attached vtable

v3:
- Grammar (Sam Ravnborg)
- s/drm_gem_shmem_put_pages_unlocked/drm_gem_shmem_put_pages_locked/
  (Sam Ravnborg)
- Add debug output in error path (Sam Ravnborg)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
