Based on a patch by Ben Widawsky, but with different colors for the bikeshed. In contrast to Ben's patch this one doesn't add the fault regs. Afaics they're for the optional page fault support which - we're not enabling - and which seems to be unsupported by the hw team. Recent bspec lacks tons of information about this that the public docs released half a year back still contain. Also dump ring HEAD/TAIL registers - I've recently seen a few error_state where just guessing these is not good enough. v2: Also dump INSTPM for every ring. v3: Fix a few really silly goof-ups spotted by Chris Wilson.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
