When doing our global park, we like to be a good citizen and shrink our
slab caches (of which we have quite a few now), but each
kmem_cache_shrink() incurs a stop_machine() and so ends up being quite
expensive, causing machine-wide stalls. While ideally we would like to
throw away unused pages in our slab caches whenever it appears that we
are idling, doing so will require a much cheaper mechanism. In the
meantime use a delayed worked to impose a rate-limit that means we have
to have been idle for more than 2 seconds before we start shrinking.

Simple buddy allocator. We want to allocate properly aligned
power-of-two blocks to promote usage of huge-pages for the GTT, so 64K,
2M and possibly even 1G. While we do support allocating stuff at a
specific offset, it is more intended for preallocating portions of the
address space, say for an initial framebuffer, for other uses drm_mm is
probably a much better fit. Anyway, hopefully this can all be thrown
away if we eventually move to having the core MM manage device memory.

Currently the code for manipulating the pages on an object is still
residing in i915_gem.c, move it to i915_gem_object.c

In preparation for an ever growing number of engines and so ever
increasing static array of HW contexts within the GEM context, move the
array over to an rbtree, allocated upon first use.
Unfortunately, this imposes an rbtree lookup at a few frequent callsites,
but we should be able to mitigate those by moving over to using the HW
context as our primary type and so only incur the lookup on the boundary
with the user GEM context and engines.
v2: Check for no HW context in guc_stage_desc_init

Rather than manually add every new global into each hook, use
i915_global_register() function and keep a list of registered globals to
invoke instead.
However, I haven't found a way for random drivers to add an .init table
to avoid having to manually add ourselves to i915_globals_init() each
time.

As kmem_caches share the same properties (size, allocation/free behaviour)
for all potential devices, we can use global caches. While this
potential has worse fragmentation behaviour (one can argue that
different devices would have different activity lifetimes, but you can
also argue that activity is temporal across the system) it is the
default behaviour of the system at large to amalgamate matching caches.
The benefit for us is much reduced pointer dancing along the frequent
allocation paths.
v2: Defer shrinking until after a global grace period for futureproofing
multiple consumers of the slab caches, similar to the current strategy
for avoiding shrinking too early.
