[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3 00/17] 48-bit PPGTT

These are the rebased patches, after Mika's final ppgtt clean-up series landed
(it relies in the macros added). New functions also follow these changes.

In order expand the GPU address space, a 4th level translation is added, the
Page Map Level 4 (PML4). This PML4 has 256 PML4 Entries (PML4E), PML4[0-255],
each pointing to a PDP. All the existing "dynamic alloc ppgtt" functions are
used, only adding the 4th level changes. I also updated some remaining
variables that were 32b only.

There are 2 hardware workarounds needed to allow correct operation with 48b
addresses (Wa32bitGeneralStateOffset & Wa32bitInstructionBaseOffset). This
new patchset version includes the comments and suggestions from Chris Wilson.
A flag (EXEC_OBJECT_SUPPORTS_48B_ADDRESS) will indicate if a given object can be
allocated outside the first 4 PDPs; if not, the end range is forced to 4GB. Also,
more objects now use the DRM_MM_CREATE_TOP flag. To maintain compatibility, in
libdrm I added a new drm_intel_bo_emit_reloc_48bit function that will flag
these objects, while the existing drm_intel_bo_emit_reloc clears it.

Finally, this feature is only available in BDW and Gen9, requires LRC submission
mode (execlists) and it can be detected by i915.enable_ppgtt=3.

Also note that this expanded address space is only available for full PPGTT,
aliasing PPGTT and Global GTT remain 32-bit.
