This patch series introduces AMDGPU usermode queues for gfx workloads.
Usermode queues is a method of GPU workload submission into the graphics
hardware without any interaction with kernel/DRM schedulers. In this
method, a userspace graphics application can create its own workqueue and
submit it directly in the GPU HW.

The general idea of how this is supposed to work:
- The application creates the following GPU objetcs:
  - A queue object to hold the workload packets.
  - A read pointer object.
  - A write pointer object.
  - A doorbell page.
  - Shadow bufffer pages.
  - GDS buffer pages (as required).
- The application picks a 32-bit offset in the doorbell page for this
  queue.
- The application uses the usermode_queue_create IOCTL introduced in
  this patch, by passing the GPU addresses of these objects (read ptr,
  write ptr, queue base address, shadow, gds) with doorbell object and
  32-bit doorbell offset in the doorbell page.
- The kernel creates the queue and maps it in the HW.
- The application maps the GPU buffers in process address space.
- The application can start submitting the data in the queue as soon as
  the kernel IOCTL returns.
- After filling the workload data in the queue, the app must write the
  number of dwords added in the queue into the doorbell offset and the
  WPTR buffer, and the GPU will start fetching the data.
- This series adds usermode queue support for all three MES based IPs
  (GFX, SDMA and Compute).
