drm/i915: DocBook integration for frontbuffer tracking

I shouldn't ask everyone to do this and fail myself ...

This extracts all the frontbuffer tracking functions into
intel_frontbuffer.c, adds a DOC overview section and also adds the
missing kerneldoc for i915_gem_track_fb and also pulls it into the
same section for convenience.

v2: Don't forget about the header files.

v3: Oops, might check compilation next time around. To make my life
easier drop the increase_pllclock from set_base_atomic since really,
it doesn't matter if you see your Oops or kgdb with a tiny bit of lag.

v4: Try to better explain how to actually use this, requested by Paulo
on irc.

v5: Explain invalidate/flush a bit clearer.

v6: s/business/busyness/

+/**
+ * DOC: frontbuffer tracking
+ *
+ * Many features require us to track changes to the currently active
+ * frontbuffer, especially rendering targetted at the frontbuffer.
+ *
+ * To be able to do so GEM tracks frontbuffers using a bitmask for all possible
+ * frontbuffer slots through i915_gem_track_fb(). The function in this file are
+ * then called when the contents of the frontbuffer are invalidated, when
+ * frontbuffer rendering has stopped again to flush out all the changes and when
+ * the frontbuffer is exchanged with a flip. Subsystems interested in
+ * frontbuffer changes (e.g. PSR, FBC, DRRS) should directly put their callbacks
+ * into the relevant places and filter for the frontbuffer slots that they are
+ * interested int.
+ *
+ * On a high level there are two types of powersaving features. The first one
+ * work like a special cache (FBC and PSR) and are interested when they should
+ * stop caching and when to restart caching. This is done by placing callbacks
+ * into the invalidate and the flush functions: At invalidate the caching must
+ * be stopped and at flush time it can be restarted. And maybe they need to know
+ * when the frontbuffer changes (e.g. when the hw doesn't initiate an invalidate
+ * and flush on its own) which can be achieved with placing callbacks into the
+ * flip functions.
+ *
+ * The other type of display power saving feature only cares about busyness
+ * (e.g. DRRS). In that case all three (invalidate, flush and flip) indicate
+ * busyness. There is no direct way to detect idleness. Instead an idle timer
+ * work delayed work should be started from the flush and flip functions and
+ * cancelled as soon as busyness is detected.
+ *
+ * Note that there's also an older frontbuffer activity tracking scheme which
+ * just trackings general activity. This is done by the various mark_busy and
+ * mark_idle functions. For display power management features using these
+ * functions is deprecated and should be avoided.
