[PATCH 08/10] drm/i915: Trim the flush for the execlists request emission

[Chris Wilson]

At the start of request emission, we flush some space for the request,
estimating the typical size for the request body. The common tail is now
much larger than the typical body, so we can shrink the flush
substantially.
