[RFC,00/14] QAIC DRM accelerator driver

This patchset introduces a Linux Kernel driver (QAIC - Qualcomm AIC) for the
Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 product (AIC100).

Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 is a PCIe adapter card that hosts a dedicated machine
learning inference accelerator.  Tons of documentation in the first patch of
the series.

The driver was a misc device until recently.  In accordance with the 2021
Ksummit (per LWN), it has been converted to a DRM driver due to the use of
dma_buf.

For historical purposes, the last revision that was on list is:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/1589897645-17088-1-git-send-email-jhugo@codeaurora.org/
The driver has evolved quite a bit in the two years since.

Regarding the open userspace, it is currently a work in progress (WIP) but will
be delivered.  The motivation for this RFC series is to get some early feedback
on the driver since Daniel Vetter and David Airlie indicated that would good
idea while the userspace is being worked on.

We are a bit new to the DRM area, and appreciate all guidence/feedback.

Questions we are hoping to get an answer to:

1. Does Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 fit in DRM?

2. Would a "QAIC" directory in the GPU documentation be acceptable?
   We'd like to split up the documentation into multiple files as we feel that
   would make it more organized.  It looks like only AMD has a directory,
   everyone else has a single file.

Things that are still a todo (in no particular order):

-Open userspace (see above)

-Figure out what to do with the device partitioning feature.  The uAPI for it
 is clunky.  Seems like perhaps it should fall under a cgroup.  The intent is
 to start a discussion over in the cgroup area to see what the experts say.

-Add proper documentation for our sysfs additions

-Extend the driver to export a few of the MHI channels to userspace.  We are
 currently using an old driver which was proposed and rejected.  Need to
 refactor and make something QAIC specific.

-Covert the documentation (patch 1) to proper rst syntax
