[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 0/5] aliasing ppgtt, advanced things

Hi all,

This patches here make bindings to the global gtt optional and are
hence preparation work for real per-process gtts. They also have the
benefits that we have fewer changes of randomly scribbling over
things.

The funky part here is the snb workaround, but we have a testcase for
that. And the workaround is indeed necessary because I've fumbled the
relocation domains in the test such that the workaround did not kick
in. And the test broke. But with the fixed up test everything works as
advertised.

The last patch also announces ppgtt hw support to userspace. This is
useful because certian MI instructions only work correctly with ppgtt
enabled (currently we don't use these for obvious reasons).

I'd like to merge this after qa has sufficiently beaten up the current
basic aliasing ppgtt implementation (and presuming nothing blows up
there).

Review, flames and comments highly welcome.

Yours, Daniel
