The next commit removes the nvif rd/wr methods from nvif_device, which were probably a bad idea, and mostly intended as a fallback if ioremap() failed (or wasn't available, as was the case in some tools I once used). The nv04 KMS driver already mapped the device, because it's mostly been kept alive on life-support for many years and still directly bashes PRI a lot for modesetting. Post-nv50, I tried pretty hard to keep PRI accesses out of the DRM code, but there's still a few random places where we do, and those were using the rd/wr paths prior to this commit. This allocates and maps a new nvif_device (which will replace the usage of nouveau_drm.master.device later on), and replicates this pointer to all other possible users. This will be cleaned up by the end of another patch series, after it's been made safe to do so.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
