[PATCH 1/6] drm/cache: Build-in drm_clflush_*() functions

From: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>

Irrespective of whether or not the DRM core is built as a module, build
the cache flush functions into the kernel. This is required because the
implementation may require functions that shouldn't be exported to most
drivers. DRM is somewhat of a special case here because it requires the
cache maintenance functions to properly flush pages backed by shmemfs.
These pages are directly given to display hardware for scanout, so they
must be purged from any caches to avoid visual corruption on screen.

To achieve this, add a new boolean Kconfig symbol that drivers can
select if they use any of these functions. drm_cache.c is then built if
and only if this symbol is selected. TTM and the i915 driver already use
these functions, so make them select DRM_CACHE.
