This commit implements basic ioctl framework for PMC,

[JZ] the implementation tells that it is AMDGPU_PROFILER_OP_PMC_RESERVE, it is better to put it under new PMC sub-ioctl op
Do you mean implement it like {bool pmc_enable, bool reserve} in a struct? I am not sure it is a good idea
and this reservation design is a improvement. Because it separates the reserve(lock) and unreserve(unlock),
so we don't need to keep the reservation during the PMC operations in a complex way, and we won't meet
the problems like how to handle the situation where the user tries to unlock but keeps enable = 1.

Thanks
