[Nouveau] [PATCH v2 1/2] drm/nouveau: placeholders for staging ioctls

Reserve the 8 highest ioctls for "staging" features, i.e. ioctls that
may change or be dropped altogether and that thus should not be given a
definite number. This will allow us to experiment with experimental APIs
for a while before setting them in stone.

Staging ioctls are not expected to stay there for a long time, so we
limit their number. Besides, each staging ioctls needs to be explicitly
enabled through its own module option.
