Due to a bug in GuC firmware, Mesa can't enable by default the usage of
async compute engines feature in DG2 and newer. A new GuC firmware fixed the issue but
until now there was no way for Mesa to know if KMD was running with the fixed GuC version or not,
so this uAPI is required.
More context on the issue:
Vulkan allows applications to create types of queues: graphics, compute and copy.
Today Intel Vulkan driver uses Render engine to implement all those 3 queues types.
There is a set of operations that a queue type is required to implement,
DG2 compute engine have almost all the operations required by compute queue but still lacks some.
So the solution is to send those operations not supported by compute engine to render engine
and do some synchronization around it. But doing so causes the GuC scheduler to get stuck
around the synchronization, until KMD resets the engine and ban the application context.
This issue was root caused to a GuC firmware issue and was fixed in newer version.
So Mesa can't enable the "async compute" without knowing for sure that KMD is running
with a GuC version that has the scheduler fix. Same will happen when Mesa start to use
copy engine.
This uAPI may be expanded in future to query other firmware versions too.

v2:
- incorporated feedback from Tvrtko Ursulin:
- updated patch description to clarify the use case that identified
this issue.
- updated query_uc_fw_version() to use copy_query_item() helper.
- updated the implemented GuC version query to return Submission
version.

Or just make uc_type u32 and avoid the need for this padding?

Alternative could be to make the trailing padding like u32 reserved[$some_odd_number] which maybe keeps things visually tidier. No strong opinion from me.
