    drm/msm: Add per-instance submit queues · f7de1545
    Jordan Crouse authored
    Currently the behavior of a command stream is provided by the user
    application during submission and the application is expected to internally
    maintain the settings for each 'context' or 'rendering queue' and specify
    the correct ones.
    
    This works okay for simple cases but as applications become more
    complex we will want to set context specific flags and do various
    permission checks to allow certain contexts to enable additional
    privileges.
    
    Add kernel-side submit queues to be analogous to 'contexts' or
    'rendering queues' on the application side. Each file descriptor
    instance will maintain its own list of queues. Queues cannot be
    shared between file descriptors.
    
    For backwards compatibility context id '0' is defined as a default
    context specifying no priority and no special flags. This is
    intended to be the usual configuration for 99% of applications so
    that a garden variety application can function correctly without
    creating a queue. Only those applications requiring the specific
    benefit of different queues need create one.
