[PATCH 2/2] drm/i915: Increase render/media power gating hysteresis for gen9+

[Chris Wilson]

On gen9+, after an idle period the HW will disable the entire power well
to conserve power (by preventing current leakage). It takes around a 100
microseconds to bring the power well back online afterwards. With the
current hysteresis value of 25us, we do not have sufficient time to
respond to an interrupt and schedule the next execution before the HW
powers itself down. (At present, we prevent this by grabbing the
forcewake for prolonged periods of time, but that is overkill fixed in
the next patch.) The minimum we want to set the power gating hysteresis
to is the length of time it takes us to service the GPU, which across a
broad spectrum of machines is about 250us.
