This commit introduces core infrastructure for handling GSP command and message queues in the nova-core driver. The command queue system enables bidirectional communication between the host driver and GSP firmware through a remote message passing interface. The interface is based on passing serialised data structures over a ring buffer with separate transmit and receive queues. Commands are sent by writing to the CPU transmit queue and waiting for completion via the receive queue. To ensure safety mutable or immutable (depending on whether it is a send or receive operation) references are taken on the command queue when allocating the message to write/read to. This ensures message memory remains valid and the command queue can't be mutated whilst an operation is in progress. Currently this is only used by the probe() routine and therefore can only used by a single thread of execution. Locking to enable safe access from multiple threads will be introduced in a future series when that becomes necessary.

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.
