Previously, if there was no firmware available, the DRM would just
disable channel creation from userspace, but still use a single
channel for its own purposes.
With a bit of care it should actually be possible to do this, due
to the DRM's very limited use of the engine. It currently doesn't
work correctly however, resulting in corrupted fbcon and hangs on
a number of cards.

The context programs are *very* simple compared to the ones used by
the binary driver. There's notes in nv40_grctx.c explaining most of
the things we don't implement. If we discover if/why any of it is
required further down the track, we'll handle it then.
The PGRAPH state generated for each chipset should match what NVIDIA
do almost exactly (there's a couple of exceptions). If someone has
a lot of time on their hands, they could figure out the mapping of
object/method to PGRAPH register and demagic the initial state a little,
it's not terribly important however.
At time of commit, confirmed to be working at least well enough for
accelerated X (and where tested, for 3D apps) on NV40, NV43, NV44, NV46,
NV49, NV4A, NV4B and NV4E.
A module option has been added to force the use of external firmware
blobs if it becomes required.

- Use driver level (0x2) for NV_DEBUG instead of all levels
- Create a NV_DEBUG_KMS for KMS level (0x4) and use them in modesetting code
- Remove a few odd NV_TRACE calls and replace some of them with NV_DEBUG_KMS or
NV_INFO

When switching to request_firmware() to load the context programs,
some endian fixes need to be applied. This makes it work again on
my quad g5 nvidia 6600.

The ch7006 driver could be built even when nouveau was not enabled,
but the build fails in that case, so make it depend on DRM_NOUVEUA.
Also make the I2c encoder/helper chips menu depend on I2C (no build
error, just visual inspection).

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.
This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
nouveau.freedesktop.org.
