Booting up GSP with vGPU enabled is part of the first milestone (M1)
together with the Rust fwctl abstraction [1] and the nova-core fwctl
driver [2] for upstream vGPU support. It allows us to validate the basic
GSP boot flow with vGPU enabled and upload vGPU types even before the
remaining nova-core dependencies are ready. The nova-vgpu WIP patches
for all milestones can be found at [3].

This version is based on drm-rust-next plus Alexandre's GSP boot process
consolidation series [4].

v2:

- Rebase on top of Alexandre's GSP boot process consolidation series.
- Drop the FSP response, FSP documentation, and GspBootContext patches
  that are already in drm-rust-next or superseded by the prerequisite
  boot consolidation series.
- Change pci_sriov_get_totalvfs() to return u16 and update existing C
  callers accordingly.
- Make the Rust sriov_get_totalvfs() helper return u16 directly.
- Rework the FSP PRC vGPU mode query to use typed subcommand, object ID,
  flags, request, and response structures.
- Move vGPU state detection before GSP boot into a read-only VgpuManager,
  avoiding Mutex/Cell based mutation during boot.
- Add a HAL method for the vGPU capability gate.
- Split the SetRegistry changes into a dynamic-entry refactor and the
  RMSetSriovMode functional change.
- Rework WPR2 heap sizing to consume VgpuManager, keep the vGPU heap-size
  helper in gsp/fw.rs, and drop the 1VM heap-size special case.
