[PATCH 17/20] drm/i915: Use SSE4.1 movntdqa to accelerate reads from WC memory

From: Chris Wilson <chris at chris-wilson.co.uk>
This patch provides the infrastructure for performing a 16-byte aligned
read from WC memory using non-temporal instructions introduced with sse4.1.
Using movntdqa we can bypass the CPU caches and read directly from memory
and ignoring the page attributes set on the CPU PTE i.e. negating the
impact of an otherwise UC access. Copying using movntqda from WC is almost
as fast as reading from WB memory, modulo the possibility of both hitting
the CPU cache or leaving the data in the CPU cache for the next consumer.
(The CPU cache itself my be flushed for the region of the movntdqa and on
later access the movntdqa reads from a separate internal buffer for the
cacheline.) The write back to the memory is however cached.
This will be used in later patches to accelerate accessing WC memory.
v2: Report whether the accelerated copy is successful/possible.
v3: Function alignment override was only necessary when using the
function target("sse4.1") - which is not necessary for emitting movntdqa
from __asm__.
v4: Improve notes on CPU cache behaviour vs non-temporal stores.
v5: Fix byte offsets for unrolled moves.
v6: Find all remaining typos of movntqda, use kernel_fpu_begin.
