2D performance is very poor without UMP_LOCK_ENABLED

[ssvb]

When UMP_LOCK_ENABLED is not in use, memory allocation is done without UMP_REF_DRV_CONSTRAINT_USE_CACHE flag:
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/xf86-video-mali/blob/r3p0-04rel0/src/mali_exa.c#L312

As a result, fallbacks to software rendering have to work with uncached memory, which is an order of magnitude slower. The missing header "umplock_ioctl.h" can be snatched from the kernel sources.

UMP locking needs /dev/umplock driver, which was missing in Mali-400
packages from MaliDeveloperhttp://www.malideveloper.com/developer-resources/drivers/index.phptill
r3p2 (released this month).
Standard UMP driver that is provided by r3p1 and less doesnt have UMP
locking compatibilities.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
