Current vga arbiter implementation in i915 needs a re-design. The current approach would cause real problems if anyone actually needs to talk another GPU using legacy VGA resources. The main issue is that X becomes a slideshow if it thinks there are multiple GPUs that have VGA decoding enabled as it insists on adjusting the VGA routing pretty much for every little operation involving any of the GPUs. The cleanup will be planned for i915. Meanwhile to focus on Xe upstreaming and have a cleaner separation, the said functionality is being moved to a different file exclusive for i915. Xe driver will re-use rest of the display code from i915. v2: Addressed Jani Nikula's review comments. v3: Dropped a duplicate function (Jani) v4: Updated commit message with reasoning as sugested by Ville.

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.
