This series implements preemption for A7XX targets, which allows the GPU to
switch to an higher priority ring when work is pushed to it, reducing latency
for high priority submissions.

This series enables L1 preemption with skip_save_restore which requires
the following userspace patches to function:

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/30544

A flag is added to `msm_submitqueue_create` to only allow submissions
from compatible userspace to be preempted, therefore maintaining
compatibility.

Preemption is currently only enabled by default on A750, it can be
enabled on other targets through the `enable_preemption` module
parameter. This is because more testing is required on other targets.

For testing on other HW it is sufficient to set that parameter to a
value of 1, then using the branch of mesa linked above, `TU_DEBUG=hiprio`
allows to run any application as high priority therefore preempting
submissions from other applications.

The `msm_gpu_preemption_trigger` and `msm_gpu_preemption_irq` traces
added in this series can be used to observe preemption's behavior as
well as measuring preemption latency.

Some commits from this series are based on a previous series to enable
preemption on A6XX targets:
