Report the maximum number of IBs that can be pushed with a single
DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC through DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_GETPARAM.
While the maximum number of IBs per ring might vary between chipsets,
the kernel will make sure that userspace can only push a fraction of the
maximum number of IBs per ring per job, such that we avoid a situation
where there's only a single job occupying the ring, which could
potentially lead to the ring run dry.
Using DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_GETPARAM to report the maximum number of IBs
that can be pushed with a single DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC implies that
all channels of a given device have the same ring size.

This commit provides the implementation for the new uapi motivated by the
Vulkan API. It allows user mode drivers (UMDs) to:
1) Initialize a GPU virtual address (VA) space via the new
DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_INIT ioctl for UMDs to specify the portion of VA
space managed by the kernel and userspace, respectively.
2) Allocate and free a VA space region as well as bind and unbind memory
to the GPUs VA space via the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND ioctl.
UMDs can request the named operations to be processed either
synchronously or asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobjs
(incl. timelines) as synchronization mechanism. The management of the
GPU VA mappings is implemented with the DRM GPU VA manager.
3) Execute push buffers with the new DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC ioctl. The
execution happens asynchronously. It supports DRM syncobj (incl.
timelines) as synchronization mechanism. DRM GEM object locking is
handled with drm_exec.
Both, DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_VM_BIND and DRM_IOCTL_NOUVEAU_EXEC, use the DRM
GPU scheduler for the asynchronous paths.
