gpu: nova-core: add initial driver stub
Add the initial nova-core driver stub.
nova-core is intended to serve as a common base for nova-drm (the corresponding DRM driver) and the vGPU manager VFIO driver, serving as a hard- and firmware abstraction layer for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs.
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term, is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs.
The motivation for both, starting a successor project for Nouveau and doing so using the Rust programming language, is documented in detail through a previous post on the mailing list [1], an LWN article [2] and a talk from LPC '24.
In order to avoid the chicken and egg problem to require a user to upstream Rust abstractions, but at the same time require the Rust abstractions to implement the driver, nova-core kicks off as a driver stub and is subsequently developed upstream.

gpu: host1x: Add context bus
The context bus is a "dummy" bus that contains struct devices that correspond to IOMMU contexts assigned through Host1x to processes.
Even when host1x itself is built as a module, the bus is registered in built-in code so that the built-in ARM SMMU driver is able to reference it.

gpu/trace: add a gpu total memory usage tracepoint
This change adds the below gpu memory tracepoint: gpu_mem/gpu_mem_total: track global or proc gpu memory total usages
Per process tracking of total gpu memory usage in the gem layer is not appropriate and hard to implement with trivial overhead. So for the gfx device driver layer to track total gpu memory usage both globally and per process in an easy and uniform way is to integrate the tracepoint in this patch to the underlying varied implementations of gpu memory tracking system from vendors.
Putting this tracepoint in the common trace events can not only help wean the gfx drivers off of debugfs but also greatly help the downstream Android gpu vendors because debugfs is to be deprecated in the upcoming Android release. Then the gpu memory tracking of both Android kernel and the upstream linux kernel can stay closely, which can benefit the whole kernel eco-system in the long term.

gpu: host1x: Provide a proper struct bus_type
Previously the struct bus_type exported by the host1x infrastructure was only a very basic skeleton. Turn that implementation into a more full- fledged bus to support proper probe ordering and power management.
Note that the bus infrastructure needs to be available before any of the drivers can be registered. This is automatically ensured if all drivers are built as loadable modules (via symbol dependencies). If all drivers are built-in there are no such guarantees and the link order determines the initcall ordering. Adjust drivers/gpu/Makefile to make sure that the host1x bus infrastructure is initialized prior to any of its users (only drm/tegra currently).

The i.MX Image Processing Unit (IPU) contains a number of image processing blocks that sit right in the middle between DRM and V4L2. Some of the modules, such as Display Controller, Processor, and Interface (DC, DP, DI) or CMOS Sensor Interface (CSI) and their FIFOs could be assigned to either framework, but others, such as the dma controller (IDMAC) and image converter (IC) can be used by both. The IPUv3 core driver provides an internal API to access the modules, to be used by both DRM and V4L2 IPUv3 drivers.

PCI/GPU: implement VGA arbitration on Linux
Background: Graphic devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. While most modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994 Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1" Section 7, Legacy Devices.
The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server currently does the task of arbitration when more than one legacy device co-exists on the same machine. But the problem happens when these devices are trying to be accessed by different userspace clients (e.g. two server in parallel). Their address assignments conflict. Therefore an arbitration scheme _outside_ of the X server is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document introduces the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for Linux kernel.

drm: reorganise drm tree to be more future proof.
With the coming of kernel based modesetting and the memory manager stuff, the everything in one directory approach was getting very ugly and starting to be unmanageable.
This restructures the drm along the lines of other kernel components.
It creates a drivers/gpu/drm directory and moves the hw drivers into subdirectores. It moves the includes into an include/drm, and sets up the unifdef for the userspace headers we should be exporting.
