Dave Airlie ebdf565169 drm/ttm: add multihop infrastrucutre (v3)
Currently drivers get called to move a buffer, but if they have to
move it temporarily through another space (SYSTEM->VRAM via TT)
then they can end up with a lot of ttm->driver->ttm call stacks,
if the temprorary space moves requires eviction.

Instead of letting the driver do all the placement/space for the
temporary, allow it to report back (-EMULTIHOP) and a placement (hop)
to the move code, which will then do the temporary move, and the
correct placement move afterwards.

This removes a lot of code from drivers, at the expense of
adding some midlayering. I've some further ideas on how to turn
it inside out, but I think this is a good solution to the call
stack problems.

v2: separate out the driver patches, add WARN for getting
MULTHOP in paths we shouldn't (Daniel)
v3: use memset (Christian)
