Subject: [PATCH 00/16] nova-core: run FWSEC-FRTS to perform first stage of
 GSP initialization

Hi everyone,

This series is a continuation of my previous RFCs [1] to complete the
first step of GSP booting (running the FWSEC-FRTS firmware extracted
from the BIOS) on Ampere devices. While it is still far from bringing
the GPU into a state where it can do anything useful, it sets up the
basic layout of the driver upon which we can build in order to continue
with the next steps of GSP booting, as well as supporting more chipsets.

Upon successful probe, the driver will display the range of the WPR2
region constructed by FWSEC-FRTS:

  [   95.436000] NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: WPR2: 0xffc00000-0xffce0000
  [   95.436002] NovaCore 0000:01:00.0: GPU instance built

This code is based on nova-next with the try_access_with patch [2].

There is still a bit of unsafe code where it is not desired, notably to
transmute byte slices into types that implement FromBytes - this is
because support for doing such transmute operations safely are not in
the kernel crate yet.
