This patch adds the command buffer (CB) module, which allows the user to
create and destroy CBs and to map them to the user's process
address-space.
A command buffer is a memory blocks that reside in DMA-able address-space
and is physically contiguous so it can be accessed by the device without
MMU translation. The command buffer memory is allocated using the
coherent DMA API.
When creating a new CB, the IOCTL returns a handle of it, and the
user-space process needs to use that handle to mmap the buffer to get a VA
in the user's address-space.
Before destroying (freeing) a CB, the user must unmap the CB's VA using the
CB handle.
Each CB has a reference counter, which tracks its usage in command
submissions and also its mmaps (only a single mmap is allowed).
The driver maintains a pool of pre-allocated CBs in order to reduce
latency during command submissions. In case the pool is empty, the driver
will go to the slow-path of allocating a new CB, i.e. calling
dma_alloc_coherent.

This patch adds two modules - ASID and context.
Each user process that opens a device's file must have at least one
context before it is able to "work" with the device. Each context has its
own device address-space and contains information about its runtime state
(its active command submissions).
To have address-space separation between contexts, each context is assigned
a unique ASID, which stands for "address-space id". Goya supports up to
1024 ASIDs.
Currently, the driver doesn't support multiple contexts. Therefore, the
user doesn't need to actively create a context. A "primary context" is
created automatically when the user opens the device's file.

This patch adds a basic support for the Goya device. The code initializes
the device's PCI controller and PCI bars. It also initializes various S/W
structures and adds some basic helper functions.

This patch just adds a lot of header files that contain description of
Goya's registers.

This patch adds the habanalabs skeleton driver. The driver does nothing at
this stage except very basic operations. It contains the minimal code to
insmod and rmmod the driver and to create a /dev/hlX file per PCI device.
