Various bits of the driver used raw ttm_buffer_object instead of the driver specific vmw_bo object. All those places used to duplicate the mapped bo caching policy of vmw_bo. Instead of duplicating all of that code and special casing various functions to work both with vmw_bo and raw ttm_buffer_object's unify the buffer object handling code. As part of that work fix the naming of bo's, e.g. insted of generic backup use 'guest_memory' because that's what it really is. All of it makes the driver easier to maintain and the code easier to read. Saves 100+ loc as well.

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.
