Allow user mode drivers to manage preemption buffers, enabling memory savings by sharing a single buffer across multiple command queues within the same memory context. Introduce DRM_IVPU_PARAM_PREEMPT_BUFFER_SIZE to report the required preemption buffer size as specified by the firmware. The preemption buffer is now passed from user space as an entry in the BO list of DRM_IVPU_CMDQ_SUBMIT. The buffer must be non-mappable and large enough to hold preemption data. For backward compatibility, the kernel will allocate an internal preemption buffer if user space does not provide one. User space can only provide a single preemption buffer, simplifying the ioctl interface and parameter validation. A separate secondary preemption buffer is only needed to save below 4GB address space on 37xx and only if preemption buffers are not shared.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
