This patch series adds some basic GPU properties to the existing nova-drm
GETPARAM ioctl. It builds on top of the "drm: Higher-Ranked Lifetime
private data" series[1] to correctly manage lifetimes of registration
data shared between DRM, auxbus and nova-core. It's also based on top of
"ForLt/CovariantForLt split, auxiliary closure API and DevresLt"[2] although the
functionality of that series isn't actually required.

A tree with this series applied on top of all pre-requisites is available at
[3].

Properties are exported via a new NovaCoreApi type which implements methods to
read data from the GPU. This has been implemented in a separate module to make
the public API implementations obvious and to keep them in one place. Auxiliary
bus drivers can obtain a handle to this type using NovaCoreApi::of().

This handle can then be stored as part of the DRM registration data and used to
interact with the GPU via the nova-core driver.

Changes since v2:

 - Addressed review Danilo and Alex
 - Minor renames to better align with HW based on internal feedback

Changes since v1:

 - Address review comments from Danilo
 - Add an API call to read VRAM PCI BAR size using nova-core

Nova core will be used to export core functionality to other drivers
which will bind to it via auxiliary bus devices. Add a NovaCoreApi type
which drivers can use to call nova-core methods.

Auxiliary bus drivers can obtain a handle to call nova-core methods on
a particular GPU using NovaCoreApi::of(). This takes a reference to a
bound auxiliary bus device and returns a handle to NovaCoreApi.

Currently the nova-drm stub driver doesn't really interact with a real
device, so it doesn't have any registration data and has no way to call
into nova-core.

To allow for this add a DrmRegData type which will hold a reference to
the NovaCoreApi associated with the auxbus device.

The chipid contains the GPU architecture and implementation and needs
to be exposed to user-space. This adds a public enum to the userspace
headers for each chip ID. Nova-core can then use this enum to define
it's chipsets.

This does create a coupling between nova-drm and nova-core whereby
nova-core depends on the values defined by the user-space API for
nova-drm. However this is entirely appropriate as nova-core must be
bound by the UAPI headers as the enum values are read by nova-core and
passed through to user-space.

Note that nova-core currently refers to the chipid as a chipset. This
isn't ideal given that chipid is the preferred and more accurate term
and is what should be exposed via the uAPI. Therefore a future patch
series will be posted that aligns nova-core internals to using chipid
rather than chipset.

One of the first things a user needs to know about a GPU is its chipid,
so add a GETPARAM parameter to return that.

Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

Changes since v2:

 - Split out enum definition into its own patch
 - Change uAPI to use chipid rather than chipset

Changes since v1:

 - Vertical import
 - Use a single enum for chipset values

Add a parameter to the existing GETPARAM ioctl to return the total
usable framebuffer size. The usable framebuffer excludes GSP carveouts
and other protected regions so may differ in size from BAR size and
total physical VRAM.

Currently nova-drm reads the VRAM BAR size directly from the PCIe device
which requires trying to cast the parent device into a PCIe device. This
obviously requires the parent device to actually be a PCIe bus device.
Whilst that is true today it may not always be the case, and there
is no reason to make this assumption now that NovaCoreApi can hold a
reference to the bound PCIe device.

So convert nova-drm to using nova-core to obtain the VRAM_BAR_SIZE
parameter.

Signed-off-by: Alistair Popple <apopple@nvidia.com>

Changes from v2:

 - Update nova-core API to use bar1_size() instead of vram_bar_size() as
   this is used internally throughout our chip HW.

nova-drm currently only exposes a primary node even though all of its
ioctls are already marked DRM_RENDER_ALLOW. Set the DRIVER_RENDER
feature so that a render node (/dev/dri/renderDXX) is created as well.

This is required to allow render and compute clients to interact with
nova-drm.
