This patch converts insert_entries and clear_range, both functions which
are specific to the VM. These functions tend to encapsulate the gen
specific PTE writes. Passing absolute addresses to the insert_entries,
and clear_range will help make the logic clearer within the functions as
to what's going on. Currently, all callers simply do the appropriate
page shift, which IMO, ends up looking weird with an upcoming change for
the gen8 page table allocations.
Up until now, the PPGTT was a funky 2 level page table. GEN8 changes
this to look more like a 3 level page table, and to that extent we need
a significant amount more memory simply for the page tables. To address
this, the allocations will be split up in finer amounts.
v2: Replace size_t with uint64_t (Chris, Imre)
v3: Fix size in gen8_ppgtt_init (Ben)
Fix Size in i915_gem_suspend_gtt_mappings/restore (Imre)

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
