In the next few patches, we will want to give a small priority boost to
some requests/queues but not so much that we perturb the user controlled
order. As such we will shift the user priority bits higher leaving
ourselves a few low priority bits for our internal bumping.

Very light stress test to bombard the submission backends with a large
stream with requests of randomly assigned priorities. Preemption will be
occasionally requested, but unlikely to ever succeed! (Although we may
build a long queue of requests and so may trigger an attempt to inject a
preempt context, as we emit no batch, the arbitration window is limited
to between requests inside the ringbuffer. The likelihood of actually
causing a preemption event is therefore very small. A later variant
should try to improve the likelihood of preemption events!)
v2: Include a second pattern with more frequent preemption

Inject a failure into preemption completion to pretend as if the HW
didn't successfully handle preemption and we are forced to do a reset in
the middle.
v2: Wait for preemption, to force testing with the missed preemption.

Handling such a late error in request construction is tricky, but to
accommodate future patches which may allocate here, we potentially could
err. To handle the error after already adjusting global state to track
the new request, we must finish and submit the request. But we don't
want to use the request as not everything is being tracked by it, so we
opt to cancel the commands inside the request.

If the GPU is irrecoverably wedged, we can not execute any requests
making testing execlists (request execution) pointless. Skip!

For symmetry, simplicity and ensuring the request is always truly idle
upon its completion, always emit the closing flush prior to emitting the
request breadcrumb. Previously, we would only emit the flush if we had
started a user batch, but this just leaves all the other paths open to
speculation (do they affect the GPU caches or not?) With mm switching, a
key requirement is that the GPU is flushed and invalidated before hand,
so for absolute safety, we want that closing flush be mandatory.

In the near future, I want to subclass gen6_hw_ppgtt as it contains a
few specialised members and I wish to add more. To avoid the ugliness of
using ppgtt->base.base, rename the i915_hw_ppgtt base member
(i915_address_space) as vm, which is our common shorthand for an
i915_address_space local.

In the next patch, we want to store the intel_context pointer inside
i915_request, as it is frequently access via a convoluted dance when
submitting the request to hw. Having two context pointers inside
i915_request leads to confusion so first rename the existing
i915_gem_context pointer to i915_request.gem_context.

Today we only want to pass along the priority to engine->schedule(), but
in the future we want to have much more control over the various aspects
of the GPU during a context's execution, for example controlling the
frequency allowed. As we need an ever growing number of parameters for
scheduling, move those into a struct for convenience.
v2: Move the anonymous struct into its own function for legibility and
ye olde gcc.

Before adding a new feature to execlists submission, we should endeavour
to cover the baseline behaviour with selftests. So start the ball
rolling.
