[PATCH 4/5] drm/i915/execlists: Read the context-status buffer from the HWSP

[Chris Wilson]

The engine provides a mirror of the CSB in the HWSP. If we use the
cacheable reads from the HWSP, we can shave off a few mmio reads per
context-switch interrupt (which are quite frequent!). Just removing a
couple of mmio is not enough to actually reduce any latency, but a small
reduction in overall cpu usage.
