Create a new DRM ioctl operation to get the numbers of resets for a
given context. The numbers reflect just the resets that happened after
the context was created, and not since the machine was booted.

Create a debugfs interface to make easier to test the API without real
resets.

Is "this flag" the VRAM_LOST? Or any flag?

Does this mean that not all resets are fatal to the context? Is there
any kind of reset that should not be fatal to a context? All the
rendering APIs seem to assume that any reset is fatal and the context
must be destroyed.

I got this flag from the `AMDGPU_CTX_OP_QUERY_STATE2` operation, and it's used to notify that the reset was fatal for a giving context, although the idea of non-fatal resets seems to be a bit controversial for now, so I think it will be better if I leave this flag for latter improvements of the API.

Ok, so the dmabuf lost is being communicated here, but how would a
userspace process know on which device a dmabuf resides on?

Let's assume process A uses device 1 to draw, exports a dmabuf, sends
it to process B which imports it to device 2. Device 1 resets and loses
VRAM contents. How would process B notice that the dmabuf is lost when
it never touches device 1 itself?
