This the beginning of an API for in-kernel clients.
First out is a way to get a framebuffer backed by a dumb buffer.

Only GEM drivers are supported.
The original idea of using an exported dma-buf was dropped because it
also creates an anonomous file descriptor which doesn't work when the
buffer is created from a kernel thread. The easy way out is to use
drm_driver.gem_prime_vmap to get the virtual address, which requires a
GEM object. This excludes the vmwgfx driver which is the only non-GEM
driver apart from the legacy ones. A solution for vmwgfx will have to be
worked out later if it wants to support the client API which it probably
will when we have a bootsplash client.

Api nitpick:

int drm_client_init(struct drm_device *dev,
		    struct drm_client_dev *client)

and dropping the kzalloc from this structure here. This allows users of
this to embed the client struct into their own thing, which means the
->private backpointer isn't necessary. Allowing embedding is the preferred
interface in the kernel (since it's strictly more powerful, you can always
just kzalloc + _init to get the _new behaviour).

I'm paranoid, I think an

	if (WARN_ON(!gem_prime_vmap))
		return -EINVAL;

would be cool here.

This is already checked in drm_client_init().

Also perhaps the following comment:

	/*
	 * FIXME: The dependency on GEM here isn't required, we could
	 * convert the driver handle to a dma-buf instead and use the
	 * backend-agnostic dma-buf vmap support instead. This would
	 * require that the handle2fd prime ioctl is reworked to pull the
	 * fd_install step out of the driver backend hooks, to make that
	 * final step optional for internal users.
