This patch adds instructions to ctxprog and by doing, impacts context
switching performance. My testcase showed a 1% performance cost using
glxgears that is a context-switch bound application.
Please test and report bugs/performance/power/other.
Many thanks to Maxim Levitsky for his dedicated work on lowering power
consumption with nouveau.
More patches are coming thanks to his work:

Written from observations of my NVD9's vbios, completely untested due to
my NVD9 lacking actual DisplayPort connectors..

Will need to be able to distinguish 2.0/2.1 from 3.0 soon. Also, move
the vbios parsing to nouveau_dp where it belongs.

We don't use these by default anymore, and there's been complaints from a
number of places thinking that the firmware blobs are required still.

Not 100% perfect yet, but a good start towards what it'll look like in the
end.
Actually seems stable on a NV44 I have here, as much as running around OA
for a fair amount of time constantly switching between performance levels
can prove..
My NV49 isn't quite so happy, and semaphores mess up somehow (sometimes) as
a result of the memory reclocking.

This changes the meaning of what we reported as "core" clock previously.
The shader/rop units are allegedly supposed to be run at the base clock
listed in the perf table, while the geometric clock can be bumped from
this value on some boards.
So that we can report both, we'll report the base clock as "shader" (since
the shaders *do* run at it), and the geometric clock as "core".

Not used currently, but it will be used in preference to pre-determined
lane/bandwidth numbers at a later point.

I'm sure that out there somewhere, someone will need this. We currently
haven't seen an example of LVDS being on a non-0 SOR so far though.

The HW will only accept the DMA_FROM_MEMORY class for DMA_SEMAPHORE without
asking the driver to intervene.
It appears that semaphores will work correctly even without DMA_IN_MEMORY,
so lets avoid the large amount of interrupts generated by x-chan sync.

If we support PGPIO interrupts, and know a hotplug GPIO tag for a
connector we use HPD, otherwise POLL_CONNECT.

The nouveau hwmon temperature support currently only functions when hwmon is
compiled into the kernel. There's no reason why this shouldn't also work when
both hwmon and nouveau are modularised (as is the case with Slackware's stock
kernels).

Takes a gamble and presumes that we can safely store something random in
OR_MODE_CTRL+4, the hw doesn't seem to mind...

VBIOS does more than this, as does nv50/nvc0 driver in nouveau. Traces
of the NVIDIA binary driver however, show pretty much just this being
done... Seems to work for me, it'll be fine for the moment.
