Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] drm: Define user readable error codes for atomic ioctl

There can be multiple reasons for a failure in atomic_ioctl. Most often in 
these error conditions -
EINVAL is returned. User/Compositor would have to blindly take a call on 
failure of this ioctl so as
to use ALLOW_MODESET or any. It would be good if user/compositor gets a 
readable error code on failure
so they can take proper corrections in the next commit.
The struct drm_mode_atomic is being passed by the user/compositor which holds 
the properties for
modeset/flip. Reusing the same struct for returning the error code in case of 
failure can save by
creating a new uapi/interface for returning the error code.
The element 'reserved' in the struct drm_mode_atomic is used for returning the 
user readable error
code.Its a 64bit variable and should suffice 64 error codes that should be 
sufficient.

For consistency, NOTALLOWED->NOT_ALLOWED ??

Sure, will get it correct!
