Configuring counters from the userspace require the kernel to handle some
logic related to performance counters. Basically, it has to find a free
slot to assign a counter, to handle extra counting modes like B4/B6 and it
must return and error when it can't configure a counter.
In my opinion, the kernel should not handle all of that logic but it
should only write the configuration sent by the userspace without
checking anything. In other words, it should overwrite the configuration
even if it's already counting and do not return any errors.
This patch allows the userspace to configure a domain instead of
separate counters. This has the advantage to move all of the logic to
the userspace.

This adds a new method NVIF_PERFCTR_V0_INIT which starts a batch of
hardware counters for sampling. This will allow the userspace to start
a monitoring session using the INIT method and to stop it with SAMPLE,
for example before and after a frame is rendered.
This commit temporarily breaks nv_perfmon but this is going to be fixed
with the upcoming patch.

This allows to query the ID, the mask and the user-readable name of

16 bits is large enough to store the maximum number of signals available
for one domain (i.e. 256).

This commit introduces the NVIF_IOCTL_NEW_V0_PERFMON class which will be
used in order to query domains, signals and sources. This separates the
querying and the counting interface.

The namespace of NVKM is being changed to nvkm_ instead of nouveau_,
which will be used for the DRM part of the driver. This is being
done in order to make it very clear as to what part of the driver a
given symbol belongs to, and as a minor step towards splitting the
DRM driver out to be able to stand on its own (for virt).
Because there's already a large amount of churn here anyway, this is
as good a time as any to also switch to NVIDIA's device and chipset
naming to ease collaboration with them.
A comparison of objdump disassemblies proves no code changes.

NVKM is having it's namespace switched to nvkm_, which will conflict
with these functions (which are workarounds for the fact that as of
yet, we still aren't able to split DRM and NVKM completely).

The symlinks were annoying some people, and they're not used anywhere
else in the kernel tree. The include directory structure has been
changed so that symlinks aren't needed anymore.
NVKM has been moved from core/ to nvkm/ to make it more obvious as to
what the directory is for, and as some minor prep for when NVKM gets
split out into its own module (virt) at a later date.
