drm/i915: Make i915 events part of uapifor-agd5f

Make the uevent strings part of the user API for people who wish to
write their own listeners.

v2: Make a space in the string concatenation. (Chad)
Use the "UEVENT" suffix intead of "EVENT" (Chad)
Make kernel-doc parseable Docbook comments (Daniel)

v3: Undid reset change introduced in last submission (Daniel)
Fixed up comments to address removal changes.

Thanks to Daniel Vetter for a majority of the parity error comments.

+/**
+ * DOC: uevents generated by i915 on it's device node
+ *
+ * I915_L3_PARITY_UEVENT - Generated when the driver receives a parity mismatch
+ *	event from the gpu l3 cache. Additional information supplied is ROW,
+ *	BANK, SUBBANK of the affected cacheline. Userspace should keep track of
+ *	these events and if a specific cache-line seems to have a persistent
+ *	error remap it with the l3 remapping tool supplied in intel-gpu-tools.
+ *	The value supplied with the event is always 1.
+ *
+ * I915_ERROR_UEVENT - Generated upon error detection, currently only via
+ *	hangcheck. The error detection event is a good indicator of when things
+ *	began to go badly. The value supplied with the event is a 1 upon error
+ *	detection, and a 0 upon reset completion, signifying no more error
+ *	exists. NOTE: Disabling hangcheck or reset via module parameter will
+ *	cause the related events to not be seen.
+ *
+ * I915_RESET_UEVENT - Event is generated just before an attempt to reset the
+ *	the GPU. The value supplied with the event is always 1. NOTE: Disable
+ *	reset via module parameter will cause this event to not be seen.
