Matthew Auld 465c403cb5 drm/i915: introduce simple gemfs
Not a fully blown gemfs, just our very own tmpfs kernel mount. Doing so
moves us away from the shmemfs shm_mnt, and gives us the much needed
flexibility to do things like set our own mount options, namely huge=
which should allow us to enable the use of transparent-huge-pages for
our shmem backed objects.

v2: various improvements suggested by Joonas

v3: move gemfs instance to i915.mm and simplify now that we have
file_setup_with_mnt

v4: fallback to tmpfs shm_mnt upon failure to setup gemfs

v5: make tmpfs fallback kinder

v5: better gemfs failure message
    flags variable

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
