This patch adds instructions to ctxprog and by doing, impacts context
switching performance. My testcase showed a 1% performance cost using
glxgears that is a context-switch bound application.
Please test and report bugs/performance/power/other.
Many thanks to Maxim Levitsky for his dedicated work on lowering power
consumption with nouveau.

The set will be replaced with a wait on the same flag by a subsequent
commit in order to halt a ctxprog's execution temporarily.

This makes nouveau recognise and report more kinds of PGRAPH errors, as
well as prevent GPU lockups resulting from some of them.
Lots of guesswork was involved and some part of this is probably
incorrect. Some potential-lockuop situations are handled by just
resetting a whole PGRAPH subunit, which doesn't sound like a "proper"
solution, but seems to work just fine... for now.

This removes dependence on external firmware for NV50 generation cards.
If the generated ctxprogs don't work for you for some reason, please
report it.
