This RFC series is first implementation of some ideas expressed
earlier on dri-devel [1].

Some of the goals (open for much debate) are:
  - Create common base structure (subclass) for memory regions (patch #1)
  - Create common memory region types (patch #2)
  - Create common set of memory_region function callbacks (based on
    ttm_mem_type_manager_funcs and intel_memory_regions_ops)
  - Create common helpers that operate on drm_mem_region to be leveraged
    by both TTM drivers and i915, reducing code duplication
  - Above might start with refactoring ttm_bo_manager.c as these are
    helpers for using drm_mm's range allocator and could be made to
    operate on DRM structures instead of TTM ones.
  - Larger goal might be to make LRU management of GEM objects common, and
    migrate those fields into drm_mem_region and drm_gem_object strucures.

Patches 1-2 implement the proposed struct drm_mem_region and adds
associated common set of definitions for memory region type.

Patch #3 is update to i915 and is based upon another series which is
in progress to add vram support to i915 [2].
