Configuring counters from the userspace require the kernel to handle some
logic related to performance counters. Basically, it has to find a free
slot to assign a counter, to handle extra counting modes like B4/B6 and it
must return and error when it can't configure a counter.
In my opinion, the kernel should not handle all of that logic but it
should only write the configuration sent by the userspace without
checking anything. In other words, it should overwrite the configuration
even if it's already counting and do not return any errors.
This patch allows the userspace to configure a domain instead of
separate counters. This has the advantage to move all of the logic to
the userspace.

This adds a new method NVIF_PERFCTR_V0_INIT which starts a batch of
hardware counters for sampling. This will allow the userspace to start
a monitoring session using the INIT method and to stop it with SAMPLE,
for example before and after a frame is rendered.
This commit temporarily breaks nv_perfmon but this is going to be fixed
with the upcoming patch.

This allows to query the ID, the mask and the user-readable name of
sources for each signal.

A source (or multiplexer) is a tuple addr+mask+shift which allows to
control a block of signals. The maximum number of sources that a signal
can define is arbitrary limited to 8 and this should be large enough.
This patch allows to define multi-level of sources for a signal.
Each different sources are stored to a global list and will be exposed
to the userspace through the nvif interface in order to avoid conflicts.

This signal index must be always allowed even if it's not clearly
defined in a domain in order to monitor a counter like 0x03020100
because it's the default value of signals.

Since a new class has been introduced to query signals, we can now
return an error when the userspace wants to monitor unknown signals.

This commit introduces the NVIF_IOCTL_NEW_V0_PERFMON class which will be
used in order to query domains, signals and sources. This separates the
querying and the counting interface.

There is always the possiblity that the ppm->context pointer would get
partially updated and accidentally would equal ctx. This would allow two
contexts to co-exist, which is not acceptable. Moving the test to the
critical section takes care of this problem.

The namespace of NVKM is being changed to nvkm_ instead of nouveau_,
which will be used for the DRM part of the driver. This is being
done in order to make it very clear as to what part of the driver a
given symbol belongs to, and as a minor step towards splitting the
DRM driver out to be able to stand on its own (for virt).
Because there's already a large amount of churn here anyway, this is
as good a time as any to also switch to NVIDIA's device and chipset
naming to ease collaboration with them.
A comparison of objdump disassemblies proves no code changes.
