Convert all PFALCON, PFALCON2 and PRISCV registers to use the kernel's
register macro and update the code accordingly.
Because they rely on the same types to implement relative registers,
they need to be updated in lockstep.
nova-core's local register macro is now unused, so remove it.

Pass in a PCI device to Spec::new(), and provide a Display
implementation for boot42, in order to provide a clear, concise report
of what happened: the driver read NV_PMC_BOOT42, and found that the GPU
is not supported.
For very old GPUs (older than Fermi), the driver still returns ENODEV,
but it does so without a driver-specific dmesg report. That is exactly
appropriate, because if such a GPU is installed, it can only be
supported by Nouveau. And if so, the user is not helped by additional
error messages from Nova.
Here's the full dmesg output for a Blackwell (not yet supported) GPU:
NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: Probe Nova Core GPU driver.
NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: Unsupported chipset: boot42 = 0x1b2a1000 (architecture 0x1b, implementation 0x2)
NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: probe with driver NovaCore failed with error -524

NVIDIA GPUs are moving away from using NV_PMC_BOOT_0 to contain
architecture and revision details, and will instead use NV_PMC_BOOT_42
in the future. NV_PMC_BOOT_0 will contain a specific set of values
that will mean "go read NV_PMC_BOOT_42 instead".
Change the selection logic in Nova so that it will claim Turing and
later GPUs. This will work for the foreseeable future, without any
further code changes here, because all NVIDIA GPUs are considered, from
the oldest supported on Linux (NV04), through the future GPUs.
Add some comment documentation to explain, chronologically, how boot0
and boot42 change with the GPU eras, and how that affects the selection
logic.

This commit introduces core infrastructure for handling GSP command and
message queues in the nova-core driver. The command queue system enables
bidirectional communication between the host driver and GSP firmware
through a remote message passing interface.
The interface is based on passing serialised data structures over a ring
buffer with separate transmit and receive queues. Commands are sent by
writing to the CPU transmit queue and waiting for completion via the
receive queue.
To ensure safety mutable or immutable (depending on whether it is a send
or receive operation) references are taken on the command queue when
allocating the message to write/read to. This ensures message memory
remains valid and the command queue can't be mutated whilst an operation
is in progress.
Currently this is only used by the probe() routine and therefore can
only used by a single thread of execution. Locking to enable safe access
from multiple threads will be introduced in a future series when that
becomes necessary.

As per [1], we need one "use" item per line, in order to reduce merge
conflicts. Furthermore, we need a trailing ", //" in order to tell
rustfmt(1) to leave it alone.
This does that for the entire nova-core driver.

Having registers that can be interpreted identically in a contiguous I/O
area (or at least, following a given stride) is a common way to organize
registers, and is used by NVIDIA hardware. Thus, add a way to simply and
safely declare such a layout using the register!() macro.
Build-time bound-checking is effective for array accesses performed with
a constant. For cases where the index cannot be known at compile time,
`try_` variants of the accessors are also made available that return
`EINVAL` if the access is out-of-bounds.

Falcon engines have two distinct register bases: `PFALCON` and
`PFALCON2`. So far we assumed that `PFALCON2` was located at `PFALCON +
0x1000` because that is the case of most engines, but there are
exceptions (NVDEC uses `0x1c00`).
Fix this shortcoming by leveraging the redesigned relative registers
definitions to assign a distinct `PFalcon2Base` base address to each
falcon engine.

The relative registers are currently very unsafe to use: callers can
specify any constant as the base address for access, meaning they can
effectively interpret any I/O address as any relative register.
Ideally, valid base addresses for a family of registers should be
explicitly defined in the code, and could only be used with the relevant
registers
This patch changes the relative register declaration from e.g.:
register!(CPU_CTL @ +0x0000010, "CPU core control" {
0:0 start as bool, "Start the CPU core";
});
into:
register!(CPU_CTL @ CpuCtlBase[0x10], "CPU core control" {
0:0 start as bool, "Start the CPU core";
});
Where `CpuCtlBase` is the name of a ZST used as a parameter of the
`RegisterBase<>` trait to define a trait unique to a class of register.
This specialized trait is then implemented for every type that provides
a valid base address, enabling said types to be passed as the base
address provider for the register's I/O accessor methods.
This design thus makes it impossible to pass an unexpected base address
to a relative register, and, since the valid bases are all known at
compile-time, also guarantees that all I/O accesses are done within the
valid bounds of the I/O range.
