PCI/GPU: implement VGA arbitration on Linux

Background:
Graphic devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. While most
modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices
implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as
they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994
Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1"
Section 7, Legacy Devices.

The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server currently does
the task of arbitration when more than one legacy device co-exists on the same
machine. But the problem happens when these devices are trying to be accessed
by different userspace clients (e.g. two server in parallel). Their address
assignments conflict. Therefore an arbitration scheme _outside_ of the X
server is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document
introduces the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for Linux kernel.

+ *                enabled on it, and "locks" indicates what is locked by this
+ *                card. If the card is unplugged, we get "invalid" then for

+ *
+ *   target <card_ID>   : switch target to card <card_ID> (see below)
+ *   lock <io_state>    : acquires locks on target ("none" is invalid io_state)
+ *   trylock <io_state> : non-blocking acquire locks on target
+ *   unlock <io_state>  : release locks on target
+ *   unlock all         : release all locks on target held by this user
+ *   decodes <io_state> : set the legacy decoding attributes for the card
+ *
+ * poll         : event if something change on any card (not just the target)
+ *
+ * card_ID is of the form "PCI:domain:bus:dev.fn". It can be set to "default"
+ * to go back to the system default card (TODO: not implemented yet).
+ * Currently, only PCI is supported as a prefix, but the userland API may
+ * support other bus types in the future, even if the current kernel
+ * implementation doesn't.
+ *
+ * Note about locks:
+ *
+ * The driver keeps track of which user has what locks on which card. It
+ * supports stacking, like the kernel one. This complexifies the implementation
+ * a bit, but makes the arbiter more tolerant to userspace problems and able
+ * to properly cleanup in all cases when a process dies.
+ * Currently, a max of 16 cards simultaneously can have locks issued from
+ * userspace for a given user (file descriptor instance) of the arbiter.
+ *
+ * If the device is hot-unplugged, there is a hook inside the module to notify
+ * they being added/removed in the system and automatically added/removed in
+ * the arbiter.
