[PATCH resend v5] drm: uapi: Add macro for chipset specific event ID region

Newsgroups org.freedesktop.lists.nouveau,org.freedesktop.lists.dri-devel,org.infradead.lists.linux-arm-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-kernel,org.kernel.vger.linux-samsung-soc
Message-ID <[email protected]>
uapi/drm/drm.h states:

    Event types 0 - 0x7fffffff are generic DRM events, 0x80000000 and
    up are chipset specific.

However, this distinction was not put in the code. To elevate the contract
between the generic DRM framework and the driver from the comment to code,
put this in a macro for clarity and convenience.
