Common resources, like memory accounting and swap lists should be
global and not per device. Introduce a struct ttm_bo_global to
accomodate this, and register it with sysfs. Add a small sysfs interface
to return the number of active buffer objects.

A micro-optimization on the function ttm_kmap_obj_virtual().
By defining the values of enum ttm_bo_kmap_obj::bo_kmap_type to have a
bit indicating iomem, size of the function ttm_kmap_obj_virtual() will be
reduced by 16 bytes on x86_64 (gcc 4.1.2).
ttm_kmap_obj_virtual() may be heavily used, when buffer objects are
accessed via wrappers, that work for both kinds of memory addresses:
iomem cookies and kernel virtual.

TTM is a GPU memory manager subsystem designed for use with GPU
devices with various memory types (On-card VRAM, AGP,
PCI apertures etc.). It's essentially a helper library that assists
the DRM driver in creating and managing persistent buffer objects.
TTM manages placement of data and CPU map setup and teardown on
data movement. It can also optionally manage synchronization of
data on a per-buffer-object level.
TTM takes care to provide an always valid virtual user-space address
to a buffer object which makes user-space sub-allocation of
big buffer objects feasible.
TTM uses a fine-grained per buffer-object locking scheme, taking
care to release all relevant locks when waiting for the GPU.
Although this implies some locking overhead, it's probably a big
win for devices with multiple command submission mechanisms, since
the lock contention will be minimal.
TTM can be used with whatever user-space interface the driver
chooses, including GEM. It's used by the upcoming Radeon KMS DRM driver
and is also the GPU memory management core of various new experimental
DRM drivers.
