The accelerator devices are exposed to user-space using a dedicated
major. In addition, they are represented in /dev with new, dedicated
device char names: /dev/accel/accel*. This is done to make sure any
user-space software that tries to open a graphic card won't open
the accelerator device by mistake.
The above implies that the minor numbering should be separated from
the rest of the DRM devices. However, to avoid code duplication, we
want the drm_minor structure to be able to represent the accelerator
device.
To achieve this, we add a new drm_minor* to drm_device that represents
the accelerator device. This pointer is initialized for drivers that
declare they handle compute accelerator, using a new driver feature
flag called DRIVER_COMPUTE_ACCEL. It is important to note that this
driver feature is mutually exclusive with DRIVER_RENDER. Devices that
want to expose both graphics and compute device char files should be
handled by two drivers that are connected using the auxiliary bus
framework.
In addition, we define a different IDR to handle the accelerators
minors. This is done to make the minor's index be identical to the
device index in /dev/. Any access to the IDR is done solely
by functions in accel_drv.c, as the IDR is define as static. The
DRM core functions call those functions in case they detect the minor's
type is DRM_MINOR_ACCEL.
We define a separate accel_open function (from drm_open) that the
accel drivers should set as their open callback function. Both these
functions eventually call the same drm_open_helper(), which had to be
changed to be non-static so it can be called from accel_drv.c.
accel_open() only partially duplicates drm_open as I removed some code
from it that handles legacy devices.
To help new drivers, I defined DEFINE_DRM_ACCEL_FOPS macro to easily
set the required function operations pointers structure.
