[RFC 0/4] Implement full clockgating for Kepler1 and 2

[Lyude Paul]

It's here! After a lot of investigation, rewrites, and traces, I present
the patch series to implement all known levels of clockgating for
Kepler1 and Kepler2 GPUs.

Starting with Fermi GPUs (this is probably present on earlier GPUs as
well, but with a far less easy to manage interface), nvidia added two
clockgating levels that are handled mostly in firmware (with the
exception of course, of the driver initially programming all of the
register values containing engine delays and that stuff):
  - CG_CTRL - Main register for enabling/disabling clockgating for
    engines and hw blocks
  - BLCG - "Block-level clockgating", a deeper level of clockgating
Starting with kepler2 as well, nvidia also introduced:
  - SLCG - "??? clockgating" even deeper level of clockgating

Originally this patchset was going to include work for making this work
on Fermi, however on closer investigation it seems that Fermi has one
pretty big difference in it's requirements that we don't entirely
understand yet. On Fermi the CG_CTRL register for the gr needs to be
adjusted during reclocking, while kepler and later generations need no
such adjustments. Since this requires more research; the current plan is
to leave fermi out of this patchset, and then just rework the code at a
later point in time to support Fermi once we understand more.

For the time being however, we put as much code we're sure Fermi will be
sharing into gf100 files for the future.

For the time being; this patchset supports every GPU in the kepler1 and
kepler2 family. The main kernel config option to enable this is
	config=NvPmEnableGating=<level>
Where <level> is the deepest level of powersaving to enable. The levels
being:
	0. NOCG
	1. CG (just CG_CTRL)
	2. BLCG
	3. SLCG

Additionally, we leave a couple of small TODO comments to mark spots
we'll eventually need to add code for the final level of power saving we
have yet to implement or understand: ELPG (engine-level powergating).

Here's some very lazily done benchmarks on how much power this saves as
well. It should be noted that chances are, these patches save a lot more
power then you see here since clockgating works best when the GPU is
under load. I have a feeling this will be especially true with SLCG.

    SLCG:
      07: 25W-25.2W
      0a: 33.85W-33.95W (spikes to 34.04W briefly every now and then)
      0d: 59.15W-59.35W
      0f: 59.35W-59.54W

For the time being, this will be disabled by default in the kernel as we
wait to get more widespread testing with this patchset. If you're
willing to put up with the potential of instability, please feel free to
try this patchset and let us know how well it works for you!
