drm/panthor: Add uAPI
Panthor follows the lead of other recently submitted drivers with ioctls allowing us to support modern Vulkan features, like sparse memory binding: - Pretty standard GEM management ioctls (BO_CREATE and BO_MMAP_OFFSET), with the 'exclusive-VM' bit to speed-up BO reservation on job submission - VM management ioctls (VM_CREATE, VM_DESTROY and VM_BIND). The VM_BIND ioctl is loosely based on the Xe model, and can handle both asynchronous and synchronous requests - GPU execution context creation/destruction, tiler heap context creation and job submission. Those ioctls reflect how the hardware/scheduler works and are thus driver specific. We also have a way to expose IO regions, such that the usermode driver can directly access specific/well-isolate registers, like the LATEST_FLUSH register used to implement cache-flush reduction. This uAPI intentionally keeps usermode queues out of the scope, which explains why doorbell registers and command stream ring-buffers are not directly exposed to userspace. v6: - Add Maxime's and Heiko's acks v5: - Fix typo - Add Liviu's R-b v4: - Add a VM_GET_STATE ioctl - Fix doc - Expose the CORE_FEATURES register so we can deal with variants in the UMD - Add Steve's R-b v3: - Add the concept of sync-only VM operation - Fix support for 32-bit userspace - Rework drm_panthor_vm_create to pass the user VA size instead of the kernel VA size (suggested by Robin Murphy) - Typo fixes - Explicitly cast enums with top bit set to avoid compiler warnings in -pedantic mode. - Drop property core_group_count as it can be easily calculated by the number of bits set in l2_present.
