This patch series defines and implements a BatchbufferLogger
for Intel GEN. The main purpose of the BatchbufferLogger is
to strongly correlate API calls to data added to a batchbuffer.
In addition to this function, the BatchbufferLogger also tracks
GPU state (respecting HW context as well). The logger intercepts
drmIoctl recording the information needed to decode a bachbuffer
(such as GEM BO creation/deletion, HW context create/delete,
and most importantly execbuffer2). When the execbuffer2 returns
from the kernel, the BatchbufferLogger will log information
in its log of what was added when and in addition log the
GPU state (at the point in the batchbuffer) of 3DPRIMITIVE and
GPGPU_WALKER commands.

It is an application's requirment to tell the BatchbufferLogger
just before and just after an API call. Because of the need
to intercept drmIoctl, having an application link against
BatchbufferLogger is not robust. Instead, an application is
to use dlsym to fetch the correction a function pointer that
returns the BatchbufferLogger's application interface. The
interface of the BatchbufferLogger is defined in patch 0002.
A script is also provided to use the BatchbufferLogger in
an easier way than needing to set environmental variables.

On the subject of application integration, I have a -very-
small patch series that enabled BatchbufferLogger for
apitrace. I can share these patches if anyone asks, but I
cannot submit them to apitrace until atleast the BatchbufferLogger
is in Mesa with a stable application interface.

The log emitted by the BatchbufferLogger is a sequence of blocks
with possibility of blocks being elements of blocks. The top level
blocks are the API call markers created from the calls into the
BatchbufferLogger from the application. The format of the log
is defined in a dedicated header (from patch 0003). Tools are
included to convert the log to JSON, XML and text. The simple
file format should allow others to be able to take the data and
use it however they see fit. The JSON output alone can be quite
illuminating to use when debugging/enhancing the i965 driver
for a single frame of a troublesome application.

The patch series is organized into the following blocks:

0001-0003: Define the BatchbufferLogger interfaces
0004-0005: Minor fixes to i965 driver
0006-0006: Hooking of BatchbufferLogger into i965
0007-0015: Fixes and enhancements to intel/compiler,
           intel/tools and intel/common.
0016-0018: Implementation of BatchBufferLogger
0019-0021: Tools to decode log to JSON, XML and text
0022-0022: Command line tool for disassembling shader
           binaries.
