[igt-dev] [PATCH i-g-t v3 0/3] Add support for intel_ctx_t in intel_bb

Currently, intel_bb assumes that context has a fixed set of engines, which
might not be the case for contexts passed from the userspace. They may use
a custom engines layout, so the legacy flags like I915_EXEC_BLT wouldn't
match the actual engine indices.

To address this issue, the series adds an additional field to intel_bb,
intel_ctx_cfg_t (intel_ctx_t configuration), that describes the engine
instances, together with an engine index lookup function, find_engine().
The function added in the second patch is used by intel_bb_flush_render()
and intel_bb_flush_blit() helpers.

The last patch in the series adds a test where we define a context with
the blitter engine at index 0 (1 in the legacy mode) to verify that
(1) intel_bb can indeed handle external contexts, and (2) intel_bb_exec gets
the correct engine id in intel_bb_flush_blit().

v3:
  - Add config param to intel_bb_create_full() and
    intel_bb_create_with_allocator()
  - Move gem_require_context() check to the subtest definition
  - Remove unnecessary brackets in has_ctx_cfg()
  - Use igt_assert_f() to show an error message in find_engine()
  - Remove redundant intel_bb_emit_bbe() call in misplaced_blitter()
  - Add blitter copy instruction to misplaced_blitter() to make sure we
    found the correct engine (as it turns out, MI_FLUSH_DW executes on
    render engine with no hang or whatsoever)

v2:
  - Add a blank line, removed by mistake, in __intel_bb_create()
  - Update intel_bb_create_with_relocs_and_context() to handle
    intel_ctx_cfg_t
  - Rewrite find_engine() to return engine id, and update
    intel_bb_flush_render() and intel_bb_flush_blit() accordingly
  - Add MI_FLUSH_DW (a command that is available on blitter but not
    on render) to make sure we actually execute the batch buffer on the
    expected engine

    All above suggested by Zbigniew
