[ANNOUNCE] libdrm 2.4.5

[Eric Anholt]

Not much big news here.  Another point release, another few bugs
squashed.  A new libdrm_intel_function lets userland tell libdrm to use
an active buffer when available, so that pixmap allocations don't have
to wait when they're just going to be written to by the GPU as
temporaries.  This saves piles of memory for some workloads.  Also, the
GTT fence management means that we won't send batchbuffers that will
fail to render due to needing more fence regs than are available on
pre-965 hardware.

Most of the diff here is nouveau code that remains off by default.

Ben Skeggs (15):
      nv04-nv40: correct RAMHT size
      nv50: support chipset NV96
      nouveau: bring in new mm api definitions, without the actual mm code
      nouveau: install libdrm_nouveau with libdrm
      nouveau: fix some issues where buffer objects never get freed
      drm/nv50: let the card handle the initial context switch
      drm/nv50: correct ramfc pointer in channel header
      drm/nv50: use a slightly different initial context for nv96
      drm/nv50: add context info for nv98
      drm/nv50: fix nv9x chipsets
      libdrm: make libdrm_nouveau conditional, disabled by default
      nv50: context info for chipset 0xa0
      nv40: fail completely if we don't have a ctxprog for the chipset
      libdrm/nouveau: fix dma debugging
      libdrm/nouveau: free drmVersion after we're done with it

      intel: don't count fences on 965 and later, as they don't use them.
      Clean up README for the current state of kernel module affairs.
      intel: Clear ioctl parameter outvalues and pads that confuse valgrind.
      intel: Add a new bufmgr alloc function to get BOs ready for rendering to.
      Bump version to 2.4.5 for new API additions.
      Fix distcheck for optional nouveau stuff.
