Yep, this is what I'm up to.  Sketching things up with vram helpers and
qxl, in a way that we can switch over drivers one by one.

Once all drivers are switched removing ttm_bo_device.vma_manager
altogether should be easy.

If vmwgfx is the only user we can probably just move things from ttm to
vmwgfx.

That would work as well ;)
