We previously required each VMM user to allocate their own page directory
and fill in the instance block themselves.
It makes more sense to handle this in a common location.

On SEC, DMEM is unaccessible by the CPU when the falcon is running in LS
mode. This makes communication with the firmware using DMEM impossible.
For this purpose, a new kind of memory (EMEM) has been added. It works
similarly to DMEM, with the difference that its address space starts at
0x1000000. For this reason, it makes sense to treat it like a special
case of DMEM.

All falcons have their FBIF registers starting at offset 0x600, with the
exception of the PMU and NVENC engines.

Both registers allow to bind a new context, but NXTCTX will work on all
falcons, while legacy NEW_INSTBLK is reserved to PMU.
After setting NXTCTX we trigger a context switch by writing 0x090 and
0x0a4.

Falcon processors are used in various places of GPU chips. Although there
exist different versions of the falcon, and some variants exist, the
base set of actions performed on them is the same, which results in lots
of duplicated code.
This patch consolidates the current nvkm_falcon structure and extends it
with the following features:
* Ability for an engine to obtain and later release a given falcon,
* Abstractions for basic operations (IMEM/DMEM access, start, etc)
* Abstractions for secure operations if a falcon is secure
Abstractions make it easy to e.g. start a falcon, without having to care
about its details. For instance, falcons in secure mode need to be
started by writing to a different register.
Right now the abstractions variants only cover secure vs. non-secure
falcon, but more will come as e.g. SEC2 support is added.
This is still a WIP as other functions previously done by
engine/falcon.c need to be reimplemented. However this first step allows
to keep things simple and to discuss basic design.
