Currently the KMD is using enum i915_cache_level to set caching policy for
buffer objects. This is flaky because the PAT index which really controls
the caching behavior in PTE has far more levels than what's defined in the
enum. In addition, the PAT index is platform dependent, having to translate
between i915_cache_level and PAT index is not reliable, and makes the code
more complicated.
From UMD's perspective there is also a necessity to set caching policy for
performance fine tuning. It's much easier for the UMD to directly use PAT
index because the behavior of each PAT index is clearly defined in Bspec.
Having the abstracted i915_cache_level sitting in between would only cause
more ambiguity. PAT is expected to work much like MOCS already works today,
and by design userspace is expected to select the index that exactly
matches the desired behavior described in the hardware specification.
For these reasons this patch replaces i915_cache_level with PAT index. Also
note, the cache_level is not completely removed yet, because the KMD still
has the need of creating buffer objects with simple cache settings such as
cached, uncached, or writethrough. For kernel objects, cache_level is used
for simplicity and backward compatibility. For Pre-gen12 platforms PAT can
have 1:1 mapping to i915_cache_level, so these two are interchangeable. see
the use of LEGACY_CACHELEVEL.
One consequence of this change is that gen8_pte_encode is no longer working
for gen12 platforms due to the fact that gen12 platforms has different PAT
definitions. In the meantime the mtl_pte_encode introduced specfically for
MTL becomes generic for all gen12 platforms. This patch renames the MTL
PTE encode function into gen12_pte_encode and apply it to all gen12. Even
though this change looks unrelated, but separating them would temporarily
break gen12 PTE encoding, thus squash them in one patch.
Special note: this patch changes the way caching behavior is controlled in
the sense that some objects are left to be managed by userspace. For such
objects we need to be careful not to change the userspace settings.There
are kerneldoc and comments added around obj->cache_coherent, cache_dirty,
and how to bypass the checkings by i915_gem_object_has_cache_level. For
full understanding, these changes need to be looked at together with the
two follow-up patches, one disables the {set|get}_caching ioctl's and the
other adds set_pat extension to the GEM_CREATE uAPI.

We really only need memcpy restore for objects that affect the
operability of the migrate context. That is, primarily the page-table
objects of the migrate VM.
Add an object flag, I915_BO_ALLOC_PM_EARLY for objects that need early
restores using memcpy and a way to assign LMEM page-table object flags
to be used by the vms.
Restore objects without this flag with the gpu blitter and only objects
carrying the flag using TTM memcpy.
Initially mark the migrate, gt, gtt and vgpu vms to use this flag, and
defer for a later audit which vms actually need it. Most importantly, user-
allocated vms with pinned page-table objects can be restored using the
blitter.
Performance-wise memcpy restore is probably as fast as gpu restore if not
faster, but using gpu restore will help tackling future restrictions in
mappable LMEM size.
v4:
- Don't mark the aliasing ppgtt page table flags for early resume, but
rather the ggtt page table flags as intended. (Matthew Auld)
- The check for user buffer objects during early resume is pointless, since
they are never marked I915_BO_ALLOC_PM_EARLY. (Matthew Auld)
v5:
- Mark GuC LMEM objects with I915_BO_ALLOC_PM_EARLY to have them restored
before we fire up the migrate context.

Add support for DPT (display page table). DPT is a
slightly peculiar two level page table scheme used for
tiled scanout buffers (linear uses direct ggtt mapping
still). The plane surface address will point at a page
in the DPT which holds the PTEs for 512 actual pages.
Thus we require 1/512 of the ggttt address space
compared to a direct ggtt mapping.
We create a new DPT address space for each framebuffer and
track two vmas (one for the DPT, another for the ggtt).
TODO:
- Is the i915_address_space approaach sane?
- Maybe don't map the whole DPT to write the PTEs?
- Deal with remapping/rotation? Need to create a
separate DPT for each remapped/rotated plane I
guess. Or else we'd need to make the per-fb DPT
large enough to support potentially several
remapped/rotated vmas. How large should that be?
