vcsm: VideoCore shared memory service for BCM2835
Add experimental support for the VideoCore shared memory service. This allows user processes to allocate memory from VideoCore's GPU relocatable heap and mmap the buffers. Additionally, the memory handles can passed to other VideoCore services such as MMAL, OpenMax and DispmanX TODO * This driver was originally released for BCM28155 which has a different cache architecture to BCM2835. Consequently, in this release only uncached mappings are supported. However, there's no fundamental reason which cached mappings cannot be support or BCM2835 * More refactoring is required to remove the typedefs. * Re-enable the some of the commented out debug-fs statistics which were disabled when migrating code from proc-fs. * There's a lot of code to support sharing of VCSM in order to support Android. This could probably done more cleanly or perhaps just removed.
