[PATCH v3] drm/i915/skl: Add support for the SAGV, fix underrun hangs

Since the watermark calculations for Skylake are still broken, we're apt
to hitting underruns very easily under multi-monitor configurations.
While it would be lovely if this was fixed, it's not. Another problem
that's been coming from this however, is the mysterious issue of
underruns causing full system hangs. An easy way to reproduce this with
a skylake system:

- Get a laptop with a skylake GPU, and hook up two external monitors to
  it
- Move the cursor from the built-in LCD to one of the external displays
  as quickly as you can
- You'll get a few pipe underruns, and eventually the entire system will
  just freeze.

After doing a lot of investigation and reading through the bspec, I
found the existence of the SAGV, which is responsible for adjusting the
system agent voltage and clock frequencies depending on how much power
we need. According to the bspec:

"The display engine access to system memory is blocked during the
 adjustment time. SAGV defaults to enabled. Software must use the
 GT-driver pcode mailbox to disable SAGV when the display engine is not
 able to tolerate the blocking time."

The rest of the bspec goes on to explain that software can simply leave
the SAGV enabled, and disable it when we use interlaced pipes/have more
then one pipe active.

Sure enough, with this patchset the system hangs resulting from pipe
underruns on Skylake have completely vanished on my T460s. Additionally,
the bspec mentions turning off the SAGV	with more then one pipe enabled
as a workaround for display underruns. While this patch doesn't entirely
fix that, it looks like it does improve the situation a little bit so
it's likely this is going to be required to make watermarks on Skylake
fully functional.

Changes since v2:
 - Really apply minor style nitpicks to patch this time
Changes since v1:
 - Added comments about this probably being one of the requirements to
   fixing Skylake's watermark issues
 - Minor style nitpicks from Matt Roper
 - Disable these functions on Broxton, since it doesn't have an SAGV
