Intended for upstream testing so that we can still exercise the LMEM
plumbing and !i915_ggtt_has_aperture paths. Smoke tested on Skull Canyon
device. This works by allocating an intel_memory_region for a reserved
portion of system memory, which we treat like LMEM. For the LMEMBAR we
steal the aperture and 1:1 it map to the stolen region.
To enable simply set the i915 modparam fake_lmem_start= on the kernel
cmdline with the start of reserved region(see memmap=). The size of the
region we can use is determined by the size of the mappable aperture, so
the size of reserved region should be >= mappable_end. For now we only
enable for the selftests. Depends on CONFIG_DRM_I915_UNSTABLE being
enabled.
eg. memmap=2G$16G i915.fake_lmem_start=0x400000000
v2: make fake_lmem_start an i915 modparam

We would like some freedom to break the user API/ABI for future HW but
yet still expose the driver for upstream development on that HW.
Currently, we have the i915.force_probe module parameter to avoid binding
to HW while the driver is under development, but that is still a little
too soft with respect to the stringent no-regression rules if we also
plan to be redesigning the uAPI to go along with the new HW.
To allow the uAPI to be changed during development, only expose that API
and in development HW under STAGING (and BROKEN). Hopefully, making it
explicit that such interfaces to that HW are under development and not
to be blindly enabled by distributions.
