Motivated by the pre-review process for i915 gem/gt features, but
probably useful in general for complex stuff.

+===============
+GPU RFC Section
+===============
+
+For complex work, especially new uapi, it is often good to nail the high level
+design issues before getting lost in the code details. This section is meant to
+host such documentation:
+
+* Each RFC should be a section in this file, explaining the goal and main design
+ considerations. Especially for uapi make sure you Cc: all relevant project
+ mailing lists and involved people outside of dri-devel.
+
+* For uapi structures add a file to this directory with and then pull the
+ kerneldoc in like with real uapi headers.
+
+* Once the code has landed move all the documentation to the right places in
+ the main core, helper or driver sections.
