This is step one towards having multiple masters sharing a drm
device in order to get fast-user-switching to work.
It splits out the information associated with the drm master
into a separate kref counted structure, and allocates this when
a master opens the device node. It also allows the current master
to abdicate (say while VT switched), and a new master to take over
the hardware.
It moves the Intel and radeon drivers to using the sarea from
within the new master structures.
