drm: Update the device-independent code to match Linux 3.8.13
This update brings few features:
o Support for the setmaster/dropmaster ioctls. For instance, they
are used to run multiple X servers simultaneously.
o Support for minor devices. The only user-visible change is a new
entry in /dev/dri but it is useless at the moment. This is a
first step to support render nodes [1].
The main benefit is to greatly reduce the diff with Linux (at the
expense of an unreadable commit diff). Hopefully, next upgrades will be
easier.
No updates were made to the drivers, beside adapting them to API
changes.

drm/radeon: Import the Radeon KMS driver
This driver is based on Linux 3.8 and a previous effort by kan@.
More informations about this project can be found on the FreeBSD wiki:
https://wiki.freebsd.org/AMD_GPU
The driver is split into:
sys/dev/drm2:
The driver sources.
sys/modules/drm2/radeonkmw:
The driver main kernel module's Makefile.
sys/modules/drm2/radeonkmsfw:
All firmware kernel module Makefiles. There's one directory and one
Makefile for each firmware.
sys/contrib/dev/drm2/radeonkmsfw:
All firmware binary sources.
tools/tools/drm/radeon
Tools to update firmwares or regenerate some headers.
Merging the driver to FreeBSD 9.x may be possible but not a priority for
now.
