Shinpei's Kato talk

Before being able to run GPGPU kernels on the GPU, we need to have an API to
handle the upload, allocate memory and read/write from/to the GPU.

We think that our runtime should follow the CAL specifications
(https://github.com/shinpei0208/cal-spec) and so should every other driver.

If you would like to do this task, you'll have to communicate implement the
interface for nvidia but also try to make it portable so as AMD could also use
this library to send commands to their GPU.

Please have a look at Shinpei's presentation.

This task is a great way for new comers to learn their way into Nouveau. Please
contact Martin Peres (mupuf) and Shinpei Kato (shinpei) if you consider
applying for this task!
