drm: Add a prefetching memcpy_from_wc
Reading out of write-combining mapped memory is typically very slow
since the CPU doesn't prefetch. However some archs have special
instructions to do this.
So add a best-effort memcpy_from_wc taking dma-buf-map pointer
arguments that attempts to use a fast prefetching memcpy and
otherwise falls back to ordinary memcopies, taking the iomem tagging
into account.
The code is largely copied from i915_memcpy_from_wc.
