Adds four types of GEM-based BOs for the VPU:
  - shmem
  - internal
  - prime

All types are implemented as struct ivpu_bo, based on
struct drm_gem_object. VPU address is allocated when buffer is created
except for imported prime buffers that allocate it in BO_INFO IOCTL due
to missing file_priv arg in gem_prime_import callback.
Internal buffers are pinned on creation, the rest of buffers types
can be pinned on demand (in SUBMIT IOCTL).
Buffer VPU address, allocated pages and mappings are released when the
buffer is destroyed.
Eviction mechanism is planned for future versions.

Add two new IOCTLs: BO_CREATE, BO_INFO

History
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
