kidd: bring up amdgpu

Project Member Reported by smbar...@chromium.org, May 22 2018

Issue description

Bring up amdgpu on kidd.

Need, at the very least, the Vega M kernel patch series and latest firmware blobs from linux-firmware.

WIP backports: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromiumos/third_party/kernel/+/1067196/1

Unknowns: do we need to build in the firmware? USE=builtin_fw_amdgpu which version of the polaris firmware needs to be built in if so?

+dbehr, who had a lot to say during the graphics meeting when I brought this up. There is a lot of existing work in backporting amdgpu to our kernels, and I would hate to have the work repeated.

Additionally, we will likely need to bring in the vga_switcheroo kernel module, which handles muxing displays for the two GPUs.

we should add vga_switcheroo module to our kernel to enable switching between both integrated and discrete gpus

and maybe look at bumbleebee project which is used to integrate both https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee
