On some servers there is a hardcoded EDID provided
in the vbios so that the driver will always see a
display connected even if something like a KVM
prevents traditional means like DDC or load
detection from working properly. Also most
server boards with DVI are not actually DVI, but
DVO connected to a virtual KVM service processor.
If we fail to detect a monitor via DDC or load
detection and a hardcoded EDID is available, use
it.
Additionally, when using the hardcoded EDID, use
a copy of it rather than the actual one stored
in the driver as the detect() and get_modes()
functions may free it if DDC is successful.
This fixes the virtual KVM on several internal
servers.

Lots of HDMI TVs overscan the incoming image by default.
The underscan option was added as a way to compensate for
that by underscanning the image so that the edges would
not be cut off on an overscanning TV. However, the TV
provides no way of knowing whether it is overscanning or
not. If the user has disabled overscan on their TV or has a
TV that does not overscan, you will get black bars around the
edges of your screen. Prior to the patch we got complaints
and bug reports from users with overscanning TVs, now with
the patch, we get lots of complaints and bug reports from
users with non-overscanning TVs. There's no good default,
but on average there have been more users complaining about
it being on by default than off, so change it to off. This
will probably result in a new deluge of overscanning TV user
complaints. There's no winning.

This fixes a regression caused by b2ea4aa67b
due to the way shared ddc with multiple digital connectors was handled.
You generally have two cases where DDC lines are shared:
- HDMI + VGA
- HDMI + DVI-D
HDMI + VGA is easy to deal with because you can check the EDID for the
to see if the attached monitor is digital. A shared DDC line with two
digital connectors is more complex. You can't use the hdmi bits in the
EDID since they may not be there with DVI<->HDMI adapters. In this case
all we can do is check the HPD pins to see which is connected as we have
no way of knowing using the EDID.

The mode specification used will match down the probed modes, and if

video=1024x768 - all connectors match a 1024x768 mode or add a CVT on
video=VGA-1:1024x768, VGA-1 connector gets mode only.

Add kernel modesetting support to radeon driver, use the ttm memory
manager to manage memory and DRM/GEM to provide userspace API.
In order to avoid backward compatibility issue and to allow clean
design and code the radeon kernel modesetting use different code path
than old radeon/drm driver.
When kernel modesetting is enabled the IOCTL of radeon/drm
driver are considered as invalid and an error message is printed
in the log and they return failure.
KMS enabled userspace will use new API to talk with the radeon/drm
driver. The new API provide functions to create/destroy/share/mmap
buffer object which are then managed by the kernel memory manager
(here TTM). In order to submit command to the GPU the userspace
provide a buffer holding the command stream, along this buffer
userspace have to provide a list of buffer object used by the
command stream. The kernel radeon driver will then place buffer
in GPU accessible memory and will update command stream to reflect
the position of the different buffers.
The kernel will also perform security check on command stream
provided by the user, we want to catch and forbid any illegal use
of the GPU such as DMA into random system memory or into memory
not owned by the process supplying the command stream. This part
of the code is still incomplete and this why we propose that patch
as a staging driver addition, future security might forbid current
experimental userspace to run.
This code support the following hardware : R1XX,R2XX,R3XX,R4XX,R5XX
(radeon up to X1950). Works is underway to provide support for R6XX,
R7XX and newer hardware (radeon from HD2XXX to HD4XXX).
