On SEC, DMEM is unaccessible by the CPU when the falcon is running in LS
mode. This makes communication with the firmware using DMEM impossible.
For this purpose, a new kind of memory (EMEM) has been added. It works
similarly to DMEM, with the difference that its address space starts at
0x1000000. For this reason, it makes sense to treat it like a special
case of DMEM.

All falcons have their FBIF registers starting at offset 0x600, with the
exception of the PMU and NVENC engines.

Not all falcons have a debug register, and it is not always found at the
same offset.

Reading registers at device construction time can be harmful, as there
is no guarantee the underlying engine will be up, or in its runtime
configuration. Defer register reading to the oneinit() hook and update
users accordingly.

Both registers allow to bind a new context, but NXTCTX will work on all
falcons, while legacy NEW_INSTBLK is reserved to PMU.
After setting NXTCTX we trigger a context switch by writing 0x090 and
0x0a4.

A message queue firmware implements a specific protocol allowing the
host to send "commands" to a falcon, and the falcon to reply using
"messages". This patch implements the common part of this protocol and
defines the interface that the host can use.
Due to the way the firmware is developped internally at NVIDIA (where
kernel driver and firmware evolve in lockstep), firmwares taken at
different points in time can have frustratingly subtle differences that
must be taken into account. This code is architectured to make
implementing such differences as easy as possible.

Falcon processors are used in various places of GPU chips. Although there
exist different versions of the falcon, and some variants exist, the
base set of actions performed on them is the same, which results in lots
of duplicated code.
This patch consolidates the current nvkm_falcon structure and extends it
with the following features:
* Ability for an engine to obtain and later release a given falcon,
* Abstractions for basic operations (IMEM/DMEM access, start, etc)
* Abstractions for secure operations if a falcon is secure
Abstractions make it easy to e.g. start a falcon, without having to care
about its details. For instance, falcons in secure mode need to be
started by writing to a different register.
Right now the abstractions variants only cover secure vs. non-secure
falcon, but more will come as e.g. SEC2 support is added.
This is still a WIP as other functions previously done by
engine/falcon.c need to be reimplemented. However this first step allows
to keep things simple and to discuss basic design.
