Let the workload audit and shadow ahead of vGPU scheduling, that
will eliminate GPU idle time and improve performance for multi-VM.
The performance of Heaven running simultaneously in 3VMs has
improved 20% after this patch.
v2:Remove condition current->vgpu==vgpu when shadow during ELSP
writing.

Commit ab9da627906a ("drm/i915: make context status notifier head be
per engine") gives us a chance to inspect every single request. Then
we can eliminate unnecessary mmio switching for same vGPU. We only
need mmio switching for different VMs (including host).
This patch introduced a new general API intel_gvt_switch_mmio() to
replace the old intel_gvt_load/restore_render_mmio(). This function
can be further optimized for vGPU to vGPU switching.
To support individual ring switch, we track the owner who occupy
each ring. When another VM or host request a ring we do the mmio
context switching. Otherwise no need to switch the ring.
This optimization is very useful if only one guest has plenty of
workloads and the host is mostly idle. The best case is no mmio
switching will happen.
v2:
o fix missing ring switch issue. (chuanxiao)
o support individual ring switch.

intel_shadow_wa_ctx is a field of intel_vgpu_workload. container_of() can
be used to refine the relation-ship between intel_shadow_wa_ctx and
intel_vgpu_workload. This patch removes the useless dereference.
v2. add "drm/i915/gvt" prefix. (Zhenyu)

set_gma_to_bb_cmd() is completely bogus - it is (incorrectly) applying
the rules to read a GTT offset from a command as opposed to writing the
GTT offset. And to cap it all set_gma_to_bb_cmd() is called within a list
iterator of the most strange construction.

This patch introduces the vGPU workload scheduler routines.
GVT workload scheduler is responsible for picking and executing GVT workload
from current scheduled vGPU. Before the workload is submitted to host i915,
the guest execlist context will be shadowed in the host GVT shadow context.
the instructions in guest ring buffer will be copied into GVT shadow ring
buffer. Then GVT-g workload scheduler will scan the instructions in guest
ring buffer and submit it to host i915.

This patch introduces the vGPU workload submission logics.
Under virtualization environment, guest will submit workload through
virtual execlist submit port. The submitted workload load will be wrapped
into an gvt workload which will be picked by GVT workload scheduler and
executed on host i915 later.
