    drm/mgag200: Hardware cursor support · a080db9f
    Christopher Harvey authored
    G200 cards support, at best, 16 colour palleted images for the cursor
    so we do a conversion in the cursor_set function, and reject cursors
    with more than 16 colours, or cursors with partial transparency. Xorg
    falls back gracefully to software cursors in this case.
    
    We can't disable/enable the cursor hardware without causing momentary
    corruption around the cursor. Instead, once the cursor is on we leave
    it on, and simulate turning the cursor off by moving it
    offscreen. This works well.
    
    Since we can't disable -> update -> enable the cursors, we double
    buffer cursor icons, then just move the base address that points to
    the old cursor, to the new. This also works well, but uses an extra
    page of memory.
    
    The cursor buffers are lazily-allocated on first cursor_set. This is
    to make sure they don't take priority over any framebuffers in case of
    limited memory.
    
    Here is a representation of how the bitmap for the cursor is mapped in G200 memory :
    
      Each line of color cursor use 6 Slices of 8 bytes. Slices 0 to 3
      are used for the 4bpp bitmap, slice 4 for XOR mask and slice 5 for
      AND mask. Each line has the following format:
    
          //      Byte 0  Byte 1  Byte 2  Byte 3  Byte 4  Byte 5  Byte 6 Byte 7
          //
          // S0:  P00-01  P02-03  P04-05  P06-07  P08-09  P10-11  P12-13 P14-15
          // S1:  P16-17  P18-19  P20-21  P22-23  P24-25  P26-27  P28-29 P30-31
          // S2:  P32-33  P34-35  P36-37  P38-39  P40-41  P42-43  P44-45 P46-47
          // S3:  P48-49  P50-51  P52-53  P54-55  P56-57  P58-59  P60-61 P62-63
          // S4:  X63-56  X55-48  X47-40  X39-32  X31-24  X23-16  X15-08 X07-00
          // S5:  A63-56  A55-48  A47-40  A39-32  A31-24  A23-16  A15-08 A07-00
          //
          //       S0 to S5      = Slices 0 to 5
          //       P00 to P63    = Bitmap - pixels 0 to 63
          //       X00 to X63    = always 0 - pixels 0 to 63
          //       A00 to A63    = transparent markers - pixels 0 to 63
          //                       1 means colour, 0 means transparent
