[Xorg] Getting GATOS branch created on Xorg

[Jon Smirl]

Ian, what's the best way to get DRM to allocate a piece of video memory
for V4L to use, or do we need to wait for your new memory manager?

This can certainly be done by merging the radeon V4L driver code into
the DRM driver. Is there a way to do this from user space with changing
DRM?
