Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] drm: Add GPU reset sysfs

This patchset adds a udev event for DRM device's resets.

Userspace apps can trigger GPU resets by misuse of graphical APIs or driver
bugs. Either way, the GPU reset might lead the system to a broken state[1], that
might be recovered if user has access to a tty or a remote shell. Arguably, this
recovery could happen automatically by the system itself, thus this is the goal
of this patchset.

For debugging and report purposes, device coredump support was already added
for amdgpu[2], but it's not suitable for programmatic usage like this one given
the uAPI not being stable and the need for parsing.

GL/VK is out of scope for this use, giving that we are dealing with device
resets regardless of API.

A basic userspace daemon is provided at [3] showing how the interface is used
to recovery from resets.

[1] A search for "reset" in DRM/AMD issue tracker shows reports of resets
making the system unusable:
