- don't have structs between kernel-doc and its struct
- end description of struct members with ':'
- start all kernel-doc lines with " *"
- mark private struct member and enum value with "private:"
- add kernel-doc for enum vmw_dma_map_mode

- add missing function parameter comments
- convert "/**" to "/*" for non-kernel-doc comments
- add missing "Returns:" comments for several functions
- correct a function parameter name

vmwgfx's fencing predates dma_fence and as a result dma_fence_ops was never
properly implemented, especially with respect to enabling signaling.
Because of this dma_fence callbacks don't work properly. This change
implements enable_signaling properly so that dma_fence callbacks now
work as expected.
It also removes vmwgfx's custom implementation of fence callbacks
and removes vmwgfx's custom dma_fence_ops::wait function which is no
longer necessary now that enable_signaling works.

resource_from_handle. In the second case the dumb buffers can be
rendered by the GPU where with the regular DRM kms interfaces they
are mapped and written to by the CPU. Because the same buffer can
be written to by the GPU and CPU vmwgfx needs to use vmw_surface (object
which properly tracks dirty state of the guest and gpu memory)
instead of vmw_bo (which is just guest side memory).
Furthermore the dumb buffer handles are expected to be gem objects by

is a reduction in the amount of code inside the vmwgfx module.
drm fb helpers do not deal correctly with changes in crtc preferred mode
at runtime, but the old fb code wasn't dealing with it either.
Same situation applies to high-res fb consoles - the old code was
limited to 1176x885 because it was checking for legacy/deprecated
memory limites, the drm fb helpers are limited to the initial resolution
set on fb due to first problem (drm fb helpers being unable to handle
hotplug crtc preferred mode changes).

This is initial change adding support for DRIVER_GEM to vmwgfx. vmwgfx
was written before GEM and has always used TTM. Over the years the
TTM buffers started inherting from GEM objects but vmwgfx never
implemented GEM making it quite awkward. We were directly setting
variables in GEM objects to not make DRM crash.
This change brings vmwgfx inline with other DRM drivers and allows us
to use a lot of DRM helpers which have depended on drivers with GEM
support.
Due to historical reasons vmwgfx splits the idea of a buffer and surface
which makes it a littly tricky since either one can be used in most
of our ioctl's which take user space handles. For now our BO's are
GEM objects and our surfaces are opaque objects which are backed by
GEM objects. In the future I'd like to combine those into a single
BO but we don't want to break any of our existing ioctl's so it will
take time to do it in a non-destructive way.

f07069da6b ("drm/ttm: move memory accounting into vmwgfx v4")
but because of complexity it was hard to maintain. Some parts of the code
weren't freeing memory correctly and some were missing accounting all
together. While those would be fairly easy to fix the fundamental reason
for memory accounting in the driver was the ability to invoke shrinker
which is part of TTM code as well (with support for unified memory
hopefully coming soon).
That meant that vmwgfx had a lot of code that was either unused or
duplicating code from TTM. Removing this code also prevents excessive
calls to global swapout which were common during memory pressure
because both vmwgfx and TTM would invoke the shrinker when memory
usage reached half of RAM.

For larger (bigger than a page) and noncontiguous mobs we have
to create page tables that allow the host to find the memory.
Those page tables just used regular system memory. Unfortunately
in TTM those BO's are not allowed to be busy thus can't be
fenced and we have to fence those bo's because we don't want
to destroy the page tables while the host is still executing
the command buffers which might be accessing them.
To solve it we introduce a new placement VMW_PL_SYSTEM which
is very similar to TTM_PL_SYSTEM except that it allows
fencing. This fixes kernel oops'es during unloading of the driver
(and pci hot remove/add) which were caused by busy BO's in
TTM_PL_SYSTEM being present in the delayed deletion list in
