drm/omap: add GEM support for tiled/dmm buffers
TILER/DMM provides two features for omapdrm GEM objects:
1) providing a physically contiguous view to discontiguous memory
for hw initiators that cannot otherwise support discontiguous
buffers (DSS scanout, IVAHD video decode/encode, etc)
2) providing untiling for 2d tiled buffers, which are used in some
cases to provide rotation and reduce memory bandwidth for hw
initiators that tend to access data in 2d block patterns.
For 2d tiled buffers, there are some additional complications when
it comes to userspace mmap'ings. For non-tiled buffers, the original
(potentially physically discontiguous) pages are used to back the
mmap. For tiled buffers, we need to mmap via the tiler/dmm region to
provide an unswizzled view of the buffer. But (a) the buffer is not
necessarily pinned in TILER all the time (it can be unmapped when
there is no DMA access to the buffer), and (b) when they are they
are pinned, they not necessarily page aligned from the perspective of
the CPU. And non-page aligned userspace buffer mapping is evil.
To solve this, we reserve one or more small regions in each of the 2d
containers when the driver is loaded to use as a "user-GART" where we
can create a second page-aligned mapping of parts of the buffer being
accessed from userspace. Page faulting is used to evict and remap
different regions of whichever buffers are being accessed from user-
space.

drm/omap: DMM/TILER support for OMAP4+ platform
Dynamic Memory Manager (DMM) is a hardware block in the OMAP4+
processor that contains at least one TILER instance. TILER, or
Tiling and Isometric Lightweight Engine for Rotation, provides
IOMMU capabilities through the use of a physical address translation
table. The TILER also provides zero cost rotation and mirroring.
The TILER provides both 1D and 2D access by providing different views
or address ranges that can be used to access the physical memory that
has been mapped in through the PAT. Access to the 1D view results in
linear access to the underlying memory. Access to the 2D views result
in tiled access to the underlying memory resulted in increased
efficiency.
The TILER address space is managed by a tiler container manager (TCM)
and allocates the address space through the use of the Simple Tiler
Allocation algorithm (SiTA). The purpose of the algorithm is to keep
fragmentation of the address space as low as possible.

staging: et131x: Revert changes from previous commit
In commit 834d0ee317b (uintxy_t removal) not all changes were trival text replacements, some converted u64 -> dma_addr_t.
In some configurations dma_addr_t is a u32, meaning that some bit operations cause build warnings. From Randy Dunlap:
----------------
on i386 (X86_32) builds:
drivers/staging/et131x/et131x.c:2483:8: warning: right shift count >= width of type
drivers/staging/et131x/et131x.c:2531:8: warning: right shift count >= width of type
----------------
Removed these by reverting dma_addr_t back to u64 types, as well as
reverting some other non-trivial changes from the aforementioned commit.

Staging: olpc_dcon.c: obsolete use of strict_stroul
As Dan mentioned, dcon_write() will only write u16 values. The
appropriate parts have been changed. As a result of module_param()
not accepting u16 as a valid data type, ushort is used.
