Replace GEM VRAM with GEM SHMEM in bochs. The new memory manager
stores buffer objects in system memory. Makes the driver's memory
management more reliably.
Most of the changes are hidden in external helpers that allocate
buffers. Replacing DRM_GEM_VRAM_DRIVER with DRM_GEM_SHMEM_DRIVER_OPS
swaps these. With GEM VRAM, the video memory was updated directly by
the DRM client. The biggest change within bochs is in atomic_update,
which now updates video memory via memcpy() from the BO in system
memory. Shadow-plane helpers maintaining the pointers to the buffer's
data, so bochs doesn't have to. The update is triggered by each page
flip's call to the framebuffer's dirty helper. The driver supports
damage clipping to minimize memcpy() overhead.
The advantage of GEM SHMEM is that it makes memory management
more reliable. Given DRM's double buffering during page flips, the
minimum amount of video memory is three times the maximum consumption
in some pathological cases. For example, if the maximum size of a GEM
buffer is 1920x1080-32 (i.e., 32-bit FullHD), the buffer size is
8 MiB. Display hardware has to provide at lease 24 MiB to reliably
page flip such configurations. This cannot always be guaranteed and
bochs already contains code to rule out <4 MiB configurations. With
GEM SHMEM, only 8 MiB of video memory are required for the given
example. Unsupported modes can be sorted out easily.
