housekeeping: Add a GPU memory usage notification

Only works on supported nvidia GPUs and nvidia binary driver
combinations.

Review of attachment 367012 [details] [review]:

This could be interesting, but not to gnome-settings-daemon, it's far too hardware specific. Could this be packaged in some nvidia specific desktop package instead?
Comment 3 Bastien Nocera 2018-01-18 12:59:14 UTC 
Hans, any ideas where this could live? It just needs some syntactic sugar to build independently, and a .desktop file to autostart when the NVidia driver is used.
Comment 4 Bastien Nocera 2018-01-18 13:06:12 UTC 
Or maybe Lionel knows a way to implement this that'd work across GPUs?
Comment 5 Lionel Landwerlin 2018-01-18 13:15:32 UTC 
No, sorry.
The closest would be some debug/sysfs parsing, but that still driver specific.

In a way that works on the 3 biggest open source drivers for the Linux desktop then?
Comment 7 Lionel Landwerlin 2018-01-18 16:39:17 UTC 
The DRM subsystem is just focused on the display side of things.
Most memory allocation for everything else is handled per driver :(
Since it is mostly used by 3d/compute userspace drivers (which are hardware specific again), there isn't much interest to make a generic layer to inspect allocations.
