[PATCH 00/16] AMDGPU Doorbell manager

The doorbells in AMDGPU drivers are currently managed by different
users in a scattered way, across the driver. The existing clients are:
- AMDGPU graphics driver for kernel level doorbell writes.
- AMDGPU MES module for kernel level doorbell write (MES ring test).
- AMDGPU MES modules for kernel level aggregated doorbell writes.
- AMDGPU MES module for MES process doorbell writes.
- AMDKFD module for KFD/KIQ kernel doorbell writes.
- AMDKFD module for KFD process doorbell writes.
- AMDGPU usermode queues for usermode doorbell writes (upcoming).

This patch series introduces Doorbell-manager to keep the doorbell handling
at a central place. The fundamental changes are:

- Introduce and accommodate a new GEM domain for doorbells.
- Prepare the AMDGPU ttm backend for handling doorbell allocation.
- Introduce doorbell-manager functions to allocate, free and index
  doorbells in one unique way.
- Create doorbell BOs for kernel-level and process level doorbell
  opertations, and place it in existing structures.
- Modify the existing graphics, KFD and MES code to use the
  doorbell-manager functions.
- Remove the existing doorbell management code in KFD/MES.

PS: This series has been sanity tested with kfd_test_suit to ensure
    it is not introducing any regressions due to kfd doorbell changes.

The idea is that:
- a kernel client can call doorbell manager functions to allocate/free
  doorbell pages.
- a usermode app can directly allocate a page from the doorbell bar just
  like a GEM object and use it for different usermode queues.
