The drm_core.h header contains a set of constants meant to be used
throughout DRM. However, as it turns out, they're each used just once and
don't bring any benefit. They're also grossly mis-named and lack
name-spacing. This patch inlines them, or moves them into drm_internal.h
as appropriate:

 - CORE_AUTHOR and CORE_DESC are inlined into corresponding MODULE_*()
   macros. It's just confusing having to follow 2 pointers when trying to
   find the definition of these fields. Grep'ping for MODULE_AUTHOR()
   should reveal the full information, if there's no strong reason not to.

 - CORE_NAME, CORE_DATE, CORE_MAJOR, CORE_MINOR, and CORE_PATCHLEVEL are
   inlined into the sysfs 'version' attribute. They're stripped
   everywhere else (which is just some printk() statements). CORE_NAME
   just doesn't make *any* sense, as we hard-code it in many places,
   anyway. The other constants are outdated and just serve
   binary-compatibility purposes. Hence, inline them in 'version' sysfs
   attribute (we might even try dropping it..).

 - DRM_IF_MAJOR and DRM_IF_MINOR are moved into drm_internal.h as they're
   only used by the global ioctl handlers. Furthermore, versioning
   interfaces breaks backports and as such is deprecated, anyway. We just
   keep them for historic reasons. I doubt anyone will ever modify them
   again.

<title>drm: Fix support for PCI domains</title>

(For some reason I thought that went in ages ago ...)

This fixes support for PCI domains in what should hopefully be a backward
compatible way along with a change to libdrm.

When the interface version is set to 1.4, we assume userspace understands
domains and the world is at peace. We thus pass proper domain numbers
instead of 0 to userspace.

The newer libdrm will then try 1.4 first, and fallback to 1.1, along with
ignoring domains in the later case (well, except on alpha of course)

With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff,
the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and
starting to be unmanageable.

This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.

It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into
subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and
sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
