Documentation/gpu: include description of AMDGPU hardware structure This describes in broad lines the how an AMD GPU is organized, in terms of hardware blocks. This is Alex' description from the "gpu block diagram" thread, edited to fit as ReST.

AMD display engine is partially shared with other operating systems; for this
reason, our Display Core Driver is divided into two pieces:

1. **Display Core (DC)** contains the OS-agnostic components. Things like
hardware programming and resource management are handled here.
2. **Display Manager (DM)** contains the OS-dependent components. Hooks to the
amdgpu base driver and DRM are implemented here.

The display pipe is responsible for "scanning out" a rendered frame from the
GPU memory (also called VRAM, FrameBuffer, etc.) to a display. In other words,
it would:

Documentation/gpu: Add amdgpu and dc glossary In the DC driver, we have multiple acronyms that are not obvious most of the time; the same idea is valid for amdgpu. This commit introduces a DC and amdgpu glossary in order to make it easier to navigate through our driver. Changes since V3: - Yann: Add new acronyms to amdgpu glossary - Daniel: Add link between dc and amdgpu glossary Changes since V2: - Add MMHUB Changes since V1: - Yann: Divide glossary based on driver context. - Alex: Make terms more consistent and update CPLIB - Add new acronyms to the glossary Reviewed-by: Yann Dirson <ydirson@free.fr> Reviewed-by: Harry Wentland <harry.wentland@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Rodrigo Siqueira <Rodrigo.Siqueira@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com>
