Allocate and populate the default LRC for every ring, call
gen-specific init/cleanup, init/fini the command parser and
set the status page (now inside the LRC object). These are
things all engines/rings have in common.
Stopping the ring before cleanup and initializing the seqnos
is left as a TODO task (we need more infrastructure in place
before we can achieve this).
v2: Check the ringbuffer backing obj for ring_is_initialized,
instead of the context backing obj (similar, but not exactly
the same).

Execlists are indeed a brave new world with respect to workload
submission to the GPU.
In previous version of these series, I have tried to impact the
legacy ringbuffer submission path as little as possible (mostly,
passing the context around and using the correct ringbuffer when I
needed one) but Daniel is afraid (probably with a reason) that
these changes and, especially, future ones, will end up breaking
older gens.
This commit and some others coming next will try to limit the
damage by creating an alternative path for workload submission.
The first step is here: laying out a new ring init/fini.

For the most part, logical ring context objects are similar to hardware
contexts in that the backing object is meant to be opaque. There are
some exceptions where we need to poke certain offsets of the object for
initialization, updating the tail pointer or updating the PDPs.
For our basic execlist implementation we'll only need our PPGTT PDs,
and ringbuffer addresses in order to set up the context. With previous
patches, we have both, so start prepping the context to be load.
Before running a context for the first time you must populate some
fields in the context object. These fields begin 1 PAGE + LRCA, ie. the
first page (in 0 based counting) of the context image. These same
fields will be read and written to as contexts are saved and restored
once the system is up and running.
Many of these fields are completely reused from previous global
registers: ringbuffer head/tail/control, context control matches some
previous MI_SET_CONTEXT flags, and page directories. There are other
fields which we don't touch which we may want in the future.
v2: CTX_LRI_HEADER_0 is MI_LOAD_REGISTER_IMM(14) for render and (11)
for other engines.
v3: Several rebases and general changes to the code.
v4: Squash with "Extract LR context object populating"
Also, Damien's review comments:
- Set the Force Posted bit on the LRI header, as the BSpec suggest we do.
- Prevent warning when compiling a 32-bits kernel without HIGHMEM64.
- Add a clarifying comment to the context population code.
v5: Damien's review comments:
- The third MI_LOAD_REGISTER_IMM in the context does not set Force Posted.
- Remove dead code.
v6: Add a note about the (presumed) differences between BDW and CHV state
contexts. Also, Brad's review comments:
- Use the _MASKED_BIT_ENABLE, upper_32_bits and lower_32_bits macros.
- Be less magical about how we set the ring size in the context.

Any given ringbuffer is unequivocally tied to one context and one engine.
By setting the appropriate pointers to them, the ringbuffer struct holds
all the infromation you might need to submit a workload for processing,
Execlists style.
v2: Drop ring->ctx since that looks terribly ill-defined for legacy
ringbuffer submission.

As we have said a couple of times by now, logical ring contexts have
their own ringbuffers: not only the backing pages, but the whole
management struct.
In a previous version of the series, this was achieved with two separate
patches:
drm/i915/bdw: Allocate ringbuffer backing objects for default global LRC
drm/i915/bdw: Allocate ringbuffer for user-created LRCs

Now that we have the ability to allocate our own context backing objects
and we have multiplexed one of them per engine inside the context structs,
we can finally allocate and free them correctly.
Regarding the context size, reading the register to calculate the sizes
can work, I think, however the docs are very clear about the actual
context sizes on GEN8, so just hardcode that and use it.
v2: Rebased on top of the Full PPGTT series. It is important to notice
that at this point we have one global default context per engine, all
of them using the aliasing PPGTT (as opposed to the single global
default context we have with legacy HW contexts).
v3:
- Go back to one single global default context, this time with multiple
backing objects inside.
- Use different context sizes for non-render engines, as suggested by
Damien (still hardcoded, since the information about the context size
registers in the BSpec is, well, *lacking*).
- Render ctx size is 20 (or 19) pages, but not 21 (caught by Damien).
- Move default context backing object creation to intel_init_ring (so
that we don't waste memory in rings that might not get initialized).
v4:
- Reuse the HW legacy context init/fini.
- Create a separate free function.
- Rename the functions with an intel_ preffix.
v5: Several rebases to account for the changes in the previous patches.

For the moment this is just a placeholder, but it shows one of the
main differences between the good ol' HW contexts and the shiny
new Logical Ring Contexts: LR contexts allocate and free their
own backing objects. Another difference is that the allocation is
deferred (as the create function name suggests), but that does not
happen in this patch yet, because for the moment we are only dealing
with the default context.
Early in the series we had our own gen8_gem_context_init/fini
functions, but the truth is they now look almost the same as the
legacy hw context init/fini functions. We can always split them
later if this ceases to be the case.
Also, we do not fall back to legacy ringbuffers when logical ring
context initialization fails (not very likely to happen and, even
if it does, hw contexts would probably fail as well).
v2: Daniel says "explain, do not showcase".

GEN8 brings an expansion of the HW contexts: "Logical Ring Contexts".
These expanded contexts enable a number of new abilities, especially
"Execlists".
The macro is defined to off until we have things in place to hope to
work.
v2: Rename "advanced contexts" to the more correct "logical ring
contexts".
v3: Add a module parameter to enable execlists. Execlist are relatively
new, and so it'd be wise to be able to switch back to ring submission
to debug subtle problems that will inevitably arise.
v4: Add an intel_enable_execlists function.
v5: Sanitize early, as suggested by Daniel. Remove lrc_enabled.

Some legacy HW context code assumptions don't make sense for this new
submission method, so we will place this stuff in a separate file.
Note for reviewers: I've carefully considered the best name for this file
and this was my best option (other possibilities were intel_lr_context.c
or intel_execlist.c). I am open to a certain bikeshedding on this matter,
anyway.
And some point in time, it would be a good idea to split intel_lrc.c/.h
even further, but for the moment just shove everything together.
v2: Change to intel_lrc.c
v3: Squash together with the header file addition
