Remove nouveau's support for legacy contexts and buffers. It was required by libdrm earlier than 2.4.33, released in March 2012. A previous attempt in 2013 to remove the functionality [1] had to be reverted [2] as there were still users left. Libdrm 2.4.33 is now almost 11 years old and it is time for userspace to move on. With the nouveau code gone, we can also remove the driver-feature bit DRIVER_KMS_LEGACY_CONTEXT.

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 Restructured Text 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.
