[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t] i915/gem_ctx_engines: Use an offset hint to avoid overlap

As Braswell is using aliasing-ppgtt, softpinning is trick as we have to
avoid overlapping with HW objects in the GGTT (like context images).
Typically allocations are from either end, so if we provide a hint to
use the middle, we should be safe from overlap.
