[PATCH 0/5 v2] drm/nouveau: Enable variable page sizes and compression

The new VM_BIND interface only supported 4K pages. This was problematic as
it left performance on the table because GPUs don't have sophisticated TLB
and page walker hardware. 

Additionally, the HW can only do compression on large (64K) and huge (2M)
pages, which is a major performance booster (>50% in some cases).

This patchset sets out to add support for larger page sizes and also
enable compression and set the compression tags when userspace binds with
the corresponding PTE kinds and alignment. It also increments the nouveau
version number which allows userspace to use compression only when the
kernel actually supports both features and avoid breaking the system if a
newer mesa version is paired with an older kernel version.

For the associated userspace MR, please see !36450:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/36450

- v2: Implement review comments.
- v1: Initial implementation.

[PATCH 1/5] drm/nouveau/uvmm: Prepare for larger pages

From: Mary Guillemard <mary at mary.zone>

Currently memory allocated by VM_BIND uAPI can only have a  granuality
matching PAGE_SIZE (4KiB in common case)

To have a better memory management and to allow big (64KiB) and huge
(2MiB) pages later in the series, we are now passing the page shift all
around the internals of UVMM.

[PATCH 2/5] drm/nouveau/uvmm: Allow larger pages

From: Mary Guillemard <mary at mary.zone>

Now that everything in UVMM knows about the variable page shift, we can
select larger values.

The proposed approach relies on nouveau_bo::page unless if it would cause
alignment issues (in which case we fall back to searching for an
appropriate shift)

[PATCH 3/5] drm/nouveau/mmu/gp100: Remove unused/broken support for compression

From: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs at nvidia.com>
>From GP100 onwards it's not possible to initialise comptag RAM withoutPMU firmware, which nouveau has no support for.

As such, this code is essentially a no-op and will always revert to the
equivalent non-compressed kind due to comptag allocation failure.  It's
also broken for the needs of VM_BIND/Vulkan.

Remove the code entirely to make way for supporting compression on GPUs
that support GSM-RM.

[PATCH 4/5] drm/nouveau/mmu/tu102: Add support for compressed kinds

[PATCH 5/5] drm/nouveau/drm: Bump the driver version to 1.4.1 to report new features

The HW can only do compression on large and huge pages, and enabling it on
4K pages leads to a MMU fault. Compression also needs kernel support for
handling the compressed kinds and managing the compression tags.

This increments the nouveau version number which allows NVK to enable it
only when the kernel actually supports both features and avoid breaking
the system if a newer mesa version is paired with an older kernel version.

For the associated userspace MR, please see !36450:

[PATCH 0/5 v2] drm/nouveau: Enable variable page sizes and compression

BTW - I'm still looking through this series, but it probably wouldn't
hurt in
the future to make sure the version in the patch header gets applied to all
patches in the series and not just the cover letter (just since this
definitely confused me for a moment).
