[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 00/18] i915 HW Context Support

The patches have changed quite a bit since the RFC, and therefore I
didn't feel comfortable trying to do v2 information. I didn't feel
comfortable taking the few r-bs that I had from the RFC except for the
one patch that I applied wholesale.

Summary:
- Completely redid the patch splitting.
  The number of patches increased, but LOC is about the same, and a
  handful of the new patches are either because of more splitting, or
  completely new bits.
- Reference counted context allows freeing the data structure and
  freeing the BO independently. This is probably the most significant
  change.
- Convert ILK RC6 code to use context code. I'm hopefuly this will make
  things more stable, but have no proof.
- Added trace events for context create/destroy/switch.
- Only support render ring context switch (previous code supported any
  ring, though media ring is the only other ring which *should* work).

Testing summary.
ILK
  RC6, just booted to desktop
SNB
  module load/unload testing
  20 consecutive suspend resume cycles
  nexuiz with experimental mesa
  piglit quick.tests with experimental mesa
    I've seen time-elapsed, and polygonOffset intermittently fail, I
    believe this is caused by the following...
  Missed IRQs now seem to occur once every other piglit run.
    I have some new code to try to fix this... coming soon, I hope.
IVB
  No testing done since RFC

I'll respond to this email with links to what I used to test (code is
currently not in pushable form).
kernel
libdrm
mesa
intel-gpu-tools

Thanks to Chris Wilson, Daniel Vetter, and Eric Anholt for providing
useful feedback in the RFC.
