drm/i915: Fallback to using unmappable memory for scanout
The existing ABI says that scanouts are pinned into the mappable region
so that legacy clients (e.g. old Xorg or plymouthd) can write directly
into the scanout through a GTT mapping. However if the surface does not
fit into the mappable region, we are better off just trying to fit it
anywhere and hoping for the best. (Any userspace that is capable of
using ginormous scanouts is also likely not to rely on pure GTT
updates.) With the partial vma fault support, we are no longer
restricted to only using scanouts that we can pin (though it is still
preferred for performance reasons and for powersaving features like
FBC).
v2: Skip fence pinning when not mappable.
v3: Add a comment to explain the possible ramifications of not being
able to use fences for unmappable scanouts.
v4: Rebase to skip over some local patches
v5: Rebase to defer until after we have unmappable GTT fault support
