Add support for navigating the VBIOS images required for extracting
ucode data for GSP to boot. Later patches will build on this.
Debug log messages will show the BIOS images:
[102141.013287] NovaCore: Found BIOS image at offset 0x0, size: 0xfe00, type: PciAt
[102141.080692] NovaCore: Found BIOS image at offset 0xfe00, size: 0x14800, type: Efi
[102141.098443] NovaCore: Found BIOS image at offset 0x24600, size: 0x5600, type: FwSec
[102141.415095] NovaCore: Found BIOS image at offset 0x29c00, size: 0x60800, type: FwSec

Booting the GSP on Ampere requires an intricate dance between the GSP
and SEC2 falcons, where the GSP starts by running the FWSEC firmware to
create the WPR2 region , and then SEC2 loads the actual RISC-V firmware
into the GSP.
Add the common Falcon code and HAL for Ampere GPUs, and instantiate the
GSP and SEC2 Falcons that will be required to perform that dance and
boot the GSP.
Thanks to Ben Skeggs for pointing out an important bug in the memory
scrubbing code that could lead to a race condition and ultimately a
failure to boot the GSP!

Reserve a page of system memory so sysmembar can perform a read on it if
a system write occurred since the last flush. Do this early as it can be
required to e.g. reset the GPU falcons.
Chipsets capabilities differ in that respect, so this commit also
introduces the FB HAL.

[ * Use kernel::page::PAGE_SIZE instead of kernel::bindings::PAGE_SIZE.
* Get rid of the Option for SysmemFlush.
* Slightly reword SysmemFlush doc-comments.

Since we will need to allocate lots of distinct memory chunks to be
shared between GPU and CPU, introduce a type dedicated to that. It is a
light wrapper around CoherentAllocation.

Upon reset, the GPU executes the GFW (GPU Firmware) in order to
initialize its base parameters such as clocks. The driver must ensure
that this step is completed before using the hardware.

Register an auxiliary device for nova-drm.
For now always use zero for the auxiliary device's ID; we don't use it
yet anyways. However, once it lands, we should switch to XArray.

Add the initial nova-core driver stub.
nova-core is intended to serve as a common base for nova-drm (the
corresponding DRM driver) and the vGPU manager VFIO driver, serving as a
hard- and firmware abstraction layer for GSP-based NVIDIA GPUs.
The Nova project, including nova-core and nova-drm, in the long term,
is intended to serve as the successor of Nouveau for all GSP-based GPUs.
The motivation for both, starting a successor project for Nouveau and
doing so using the Rust programming language, is documented in detail
through a previous post on the mailing list [1], an LWN article [2] and a
talk from LPC '24.
In order to avoid the chicken and egg problem to require a user to
upstream Rust abstractions, but at the same time require the Rust
abstractions to implement the driver, nova-core kicks off as a driver
stub and is subsequently developed upstream.
