Currently the VPU firmware prepares for D0i3 every time the VPU
is entering D0i2 Idle state. This is not optimal as we might not
enter D0i3 every time we enter D0i2 Idle and this preparation
is quite costly.
This optimization moves D0i3 preparation to a dedicated
message sent from the host driver only when the driver is about
to enter D0i3 - this reduces power consumption and latency for
certain workloads, for example audio workloads that submit
inference every 10 ms.
The VPU needs non zero time to enter IDLE state after responding to
D0i3 entry message. If the driver does not wait for the VPU to enter
IDLE state it could cause warm boot failures.

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
