drm/doc: add rfc section for small BAR uapi Add an entry for the new uapi needed for small BAR on DG2+. v2: - Some spelling fixes and other small tweaks. (Akeem & Thomas) - Rework error capture interactions, including no longer needing NEEDS_CPU_ACCESS for objects marked for capture. (Thomas) - Add probed_cpu_visible_size. (Lionel) v3: - Drop the vma query for now. - Add unallocated_cpu_visible_size as part of the region query. - Improve the docs some more, including documenting the expected behaviour on older kernels, since this came up in some offline discussion. v4: - Various improvements all over. (Tvrtko) v5: - Include newer integrated platforms when applying the non-recoverable context and error capture restriction.

*
* Only valid when placing objects in I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE, and only
* strictly required on configurations where some subset of the device
* memory is directly visible/mappable through the CPU (which we also
* call small BAR), like on some DG2+ systems. Note that this is quite
* undesirable, but due to various factors like the client CPU, BIOS etc
* it's something we can expect to see in the wild. See
* &__drm_i915_memory_region_info.probed_cpu_visible_size for how to
* determine if this system applies.
*
* Note that one of the placements MUST be I915_MEMORY_CLASS_SYSTEM, to
* ensure the kernel can always spill the allocation to system memory,
* if the object can't be allocated in the mappable part of
* I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE.
*
* Also note that since the kernel only supports flat-CCS on objects
* that can *only* be placed in I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE, we therefore
* don't support I915_GEM_CREATE_EXT_FLAG_NEEDS_CPU_ACCESS together with
* flat-CCS.
*
* Without this hint, the kernel will assume that non-mappable
* I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE is preferred for this object. Note that the
* kernel can still migrate the object to the mappable part, as a last
* resort, if userspace ever CPU faults this object, but this might be
* expensive, and so ideally should be avoided.
*
* On older kernels which lack the relevant small-bar uAPI support (see
* also &__drm_i915_memory_region_info.probed_cpu_visible_size),
* usage of the flag will result in an error, but it should NEVER be
* possible to end up with a small BAR configuration, assuming we can
* also successfully load the i915 kernel module. In such cases the
* entire I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE region will be CPU accessible, and as
* such there are zero restrictions on where the object can be placed.
