The context programs are *very* simple compared to the ones used by
the binary driver. There's notes in nv40_grctx.c explaining most of
the things we don't implement. If we discover if/why any of it is
required further down the track, we'll handle it then.
The PGRAPH state generated for each chipset should match what NVIDIA
do almost exactly (there's a couple of exceptions). If someone has
a lot of time on their hands, they could figure out the mapping of
object/method to PGRAPH register and demagic the initial state a little,
it's not terribly important however.
At time of commit, confirmed to be working at least well enough for
accelerated X (and where tested, for 3D apps) on NV40, NV43, NV44, NV46,
NV49, NV4A, NV4B and NV4E.
A module option has been added to force the use of external firmware
blobs if it becomes required.

When switching to request_firmware() to load the context programs,
some endian fixes need to be applied. This makes it work again on
my quad g5 nvidia 6600.

This adds a drm/kms staging non-API stable driver for GPUs from NVIDIA.
This driver is a KMS-based driver and requires a compatible nouveau
userspace libdrm and nouveau X.org driver.
This driver requires firmware files not available in this kernel tree,
interested parties can find them via the nouveau project git archive.
This driver is reverse engineered, and is in no way supported by nVidia.
Support for nearly the complete range of nvidia hw from nv04->g80 (nv50)
is available, and the kms driver should support driving nearly all
output types (displayport is under development still) along with supporting
suspend/resume.
This work is all from the upstream nouveau project found at
nouveau.freedesktop.org.
