Add the infrastructure to support the idea of multiple ringbuffers. Assign each ringbuffer an id and use that as an index for the various ring specific operations. The biggest delta is to support legacy fences. Each fence gets its own sequence number but the legacy functions expect to use a unique integer. To handle this we return a unique identifier for each submission but map it to a specific ring/sequence under the covers. Newer users use a dma_fence pointer anyway so they don't care about the actual sequence ID or ring. The actual mechanics for multiple ringbuffers are very target specific so this code just allows for the possibility but still only defines one ringbuffer for each target family.

Linux kernel ============ 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.
