Each of the user contexts has two command queues, one for compute engine
and one for the copy engine. Command queues are allocated and registered
in the device when the first job (command buffer) is submitted from
the user space to the VPU device. The userspace provides a list of
GEM buffer object handles to submit to the VPU, the driver resolves
buffer handles, pins physical memory if needed, increments ref count
for each buffer and stores pointers to buffer objects in
the ivpu_job objects that track jobs submitted to the device.
The VPU signals job completion with an asynchronous message that
contains the job id passed to firmware when the job was submitted.
Currently, the driver supports simple scheduling logic
where jobs submitted from user space are immediately pushed
to the VPU device command queues. In the future, it will be
extended to use hardware base scheduling and/or drm_sched.

The IPC driver is used to send and receive messages to/from firmware
running on the VPU.
The only supported IPC message format is Job Submission Model (JSM)
defined in vpu_jsm_api.h header.

Adds four types of GEM-based BOs for the VPU:
- shmem
- internal
- prime
All types are implemented as struct ivpu_bo, based on
struct drm_gem_object. VPU address is allocated when buffer is created
except for imported prime buffers that allocate it in BO_INFO IOCTL due
to missing file_priv arg in gem_prime_import callback.
Internal buffers are pinned on creation, the rest of buffers types
can be pinned on demand (in SUBMIT IOCTL).
Buffer VPU address, allocated pages and mappings are released when the
buffer is destroyed.
Eviction mechanism is planned for future versions.
Add two new IOCTLs: BO_CREATE, BO_INFO

VPU Memory Management Unit is based on ARM MMU-600.
It allows the creation of multiple virtual address spaces for
the device and map noncontinuous host memory (there is no dedicated
memory on the VPU).
Address space is implemented as a struct ivpu_mmu_context, it has an ID,
drm_mm allocator for VPU addresses and struct ivpu_mmu_pgtable that
holds actual 3-level, 4KB page table.
Context with ID 0 (global context) is created upon driver initialization
and it's mainly used for mapping memory required to execute
the firmware.
Contexts with non-zero IDs are user contexts allocated each time
the devices is open()-ed and they map command buffers and other
workload-related memory.
Workloads executing in a given contexts have access only
to the memory mapped in this context.
This patch is has two main files:
- ivpu_mmu_context.c handles MMU page tables and memory mapping
- ivpu_mmu.c implements a driver that programs the MMU device

VPU stands for Versatile Processing Unit and it's a CPU-integrated
inference accelerator for Computer Vision and Deep Learning
applications.
The VPU device consist of following components:
- Buttress - provides CPU to VPU integration, interrupt, frequency and
power management.
- Memory Management Unit (based on ARM MMU-600) - translates VPU to
host DMA addresses, isolates user workloads.
- RISC based microcontroller - executes firmware that provides job
execution API for the kernel-mode driver
- Neural Compute Subsystem (NCS) - does the actual work, provides
Compute and Copy engines.
- Network on Chip (NoC) - network fabric connecting all the components
This driver supports VPU IP v2.7 integrated into Intel Meteor Lake
client CPUs (14th generation).
Module sources are at drivers/accel/ivpu and module name is
"intel_vpu.ko".
This patch includes only very besic functionality:
- module, PCI device and IRQ initialization
- register definitions and low level register manipulation functions
- SET/GET_PARAM ioctls
- power up without firmware
