This patchset adds the remaining support required for booting the GSP on
Turing.

The biggest change since last revision is a change in how we store
falcon firmwares, regardless of the loading method. When DMA was the
only option, we used to create a DMA object as early as possible to
store the firmware's content, and patched it in-place to avoid doing a
copy.

In hindsight, this decision was a bit short-sighted as it complicates
the PIO path considerably, and ignored the fact that each access to the
firmware required an unsafe block. Thus the first patch of this series
switches to a model where we load the firmware into a regular `KVVec`,
and only copy it into a DMA object when we are about to load it. This
removes 8 unsafe statements and 30 lines of code, and the copy is, as
can be expected, absolutely unnoticeable at runtime.

The rest of the patchset did not change much, apart from the
simplifications in the PIO path that the first patch brings.

This series is based on `drm-rust-next`. A tree with all the patches is
available at [1].

Changes in v10:
- Store the firmwares into a regular KVec and move them into a DMA
  object only when actually loading using DMA.
- Use `try_update` when updating the `NV_PFALCON_FBIF_TRANSCFG` register
  array as its index is not build-time proven to be valid.
- Fix alignment issue when processing imem section of the FWSEC
  bootloader (thanks Eliot!).
- Link to v9:

Changes in v9:
- Add a few preparatory patches to simplify the actual feature patches.
- Use a wrapping type for the bootloader.
- Simplify the falcon loading code and move the complexity to the
  firmware types.
- Add the generic bootloader files to `ModInfoBuilder`.
