drm/msm: add support for non-IOMMU systems
Add a VRAM carveout that is used for systems which do not have an IOMMU. The VRAM carveout uses CMA. The arch code must setup a CMA pool for the device (preferrably in highmem.. a 256m-512m VRAM pool in lowmem is not cool). The user can configure the VRAM pool size using msm.vram module param. Technically, the abstraction of IOMMU behind msm_mmu is not strictly needed, but it simplifies the GEM code a bit, and will be useful later when I add support for a2xx devices with GPUMMU, so I decided to keep this part. It appears to be possible to configure the GPU to restrict access to addresses within the VRAM pool, but this is not done yet. So for now the GPU will refuse to load if there is no sort of mmu. Once address based limits are supported and tested to confirm that we aren't giving the GPU access to arbitrary memory, this restriction can be lifted Signed-off-by: Rob Clark <robdclark@gmail.com>
