0861e41de5 habanalabs: add context and ASID modules
This patch adds two modules - ASID and context.

Each user process that opens a device's file must have at least one
context before it is able to "work" with the device. Each context has its
own device address-space and contains information about its runtime state
(its active command submissions).

To have address-space separation between contexts, each context is assigned
a unique ASID, which stands for "address-space id". Goya supports up to
1024 ASIDs.

Currently, the driver doesn't support multiple contexts. Therefore, the
user doesn't need to actively create a context. A "primary context" is
created automatically when the user opens the device's file.
