The older arches did not convert MI_STORE_DATA_IMM to using the GTT, but
left them writing to a physical address. The notes suggest that the
primary reason would be so that the writes were cache coherent, as the
CPU cache uses physical tagging. As such we did not implement the
legacy variant of MI_STORE_DATA_IMM and so left all the relocations
synchronous -- but with a small function to convert from the vma address
into the physical address, we can implement asynchronous relocs on these
older arches, fixing up a few tests that require them.
In order to be able to test the legacy paths, refactor the gpu
relocations so that we can hook them up to a selftest.

We need to keep the default context state around to instantiate new
contexts (aka golden rendercontext), and we also keep it pinned while
the engine is active so that we can quickly reset a hanging context.
However, the default contexts are large enough to merit keeping in
swappable memory as opposed to kernel memory, so we store them inside
shmemfs. Currently, we use the normal GEM objects to create the default
context image, but we can throw away all but the shmemfs file.
This greatly simplifies the tricky power management code which wants to
run underneath the normal GT locking, and we definitely do not want to
use any high level objects that may appear to recurse back into the GT.
Though perhaps the primary advantage of the complex GEM object is that
we aggressively cache the mapping, but here we are recreating the
vm_area everytime time we unpark. At the worst, we add a lightweight
cache, but first find a microbenchmark that is impacted.
Having started to create some utility functions to make working with
shmemfs objects easier, we can start putting them to wider use, where
GEM objects are overkill, such as storing persistent error state.

Indirect ctx batchbuffers are a hw feature of which
batch can be run, by hardware, during context restoration stage.
Driver can setup a batchbuffer and also an offset into the
context image. When context image is marshalled from
memory to registers, and when the offset from the start of
context register state is equal of what driver pre-determined,
batch will run. So one can manipulate context restoration
process at cacheline granularity, given some limitations,
as you need to have rudimentaries in place before you can
run a batch.
Add selftest which will write the ring start register
to a canary spot. This will test that hardware will run a
batchbuffer for the context in question.

If we find ourselves waiting on a MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT, either within the
user batch or in our own preamble, the engine raises a
GT_WAIT_ON_SEMAPHORE interrupt. We can unmask that interrupt and so
respond to a semaphore wait by yielding the timeslice, if we have
another context to yield to!
The only real complication is that the interrupt is only generated for
the start of the semaphore wait, and is asynchronous to our
process_csb() -- that is, we may not have registered the timeslice before
we see the interrupt. To ensure we don't miss a potential semaphore
blocking forward progress (e.g. selftests/live_timeslice_preempt) we mark
the interrupt and apply it to the next timeslice regardless of whether it
was active at the time.
v2: We use semaphores in preempt-to-busy, within the timeslicing
implementation itself! Ergo, when we do insert a preemption due to an
expired timeslice, the new context may start with the missed semaphore
flagged by the retired context and be yielded, ad infinitum. To avoid
this, read the context id at the time of the semaphore interrupt and
only yield if that context is still active.

Currently on execlists, we use a local hwsp for the kernel_context,
rather than the engine's HWSP, as this is the default for execlists.
However, seqno wrap requires allocating a new HWSP cacheline, and may
require pinning a new HWSP page in the GGTT. This operation requiring
pinning in the GGTT is not allowed within the kernel_context timeline,
as doing so may require re-entering the kernel_context in order to evict
from the GGTT. As we want to avoid requiring a new HWSP for the
kernel_context, we can use the permanently pinned engine's HWSP instead.
However to do so we must prevent the use of semaphores reading the
kernel_context's HWSP, as the use of semaphores do not support rollover
onto the same cacheline. Fortunately, the kernel_context is mostly
isolated, so unlikely to give benefit to semaphores.

Keep the intel_context as being the primary state for i915_request, with
the GEM context a backpointer from the low level state for the rarer
cases we need client information. Our goal is to remove such references
to clients from the backend, and leave the HW submission agnostic to
client interfaces and self-contained.

As the engine->kernel_context is used within the engine-pm barrier, we
have to be careful when emitting requests outside of the barrier, as the
strict timeline locking rules do not apply. Instead, we must ensure the
engine_park() cannot be entered as we build the request, which is
simplest by taking an explicit engine-pm wakeref around the request
construction.
