[PATCH] [RFC] nouveau: hack fix for regression from 6.2

[PATCH] [RFC] nouveau: hack fix for regression from 6.2

[Dave Airlie]

From: Dave Airlie <airlied@redhat.com>

I recently got a regression report for RHEL 8.10 with a multi-card
GP106 setup. This led me down a rabbit hole of a few problems,
I've sent the cross-fence device fix but this is also needed to
make things work properly.

Hopefully I can at least work out how to restrict this to pre-Ampere
maybe? or find something else

    drm/nouveau/gr/gf100-: call FECS WFI_GOLDEN_SAVE method

The symptoms are on a dual GPU (turing and pascal) gnome-shell
gets a lot of

nouveau 0000:01:00.0: gr: DATA_ERROR 0000009c [] ch 2 [017fd2f000 gnome-shell[1554]] subc 0 class c597 mthd 0d78 data 00000004

and nothing renders on the second GPU (the data errors are on the primary GPU).
