[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 00/18] [RFC] Introduce the Haswell VECS

The VECS is a new command streamer introduced in Haswell which allows
offloading of video post processing to a new engine called the VEBOX.
Like other rings, it is up to userspace to take advantage of it. Also
like the other rings, the primary enabling is turning on interrupts,
adding the new semaphores, and other basic bits. Somewhat more
complicated than the other rings, the VECS has its interrupts in the
PMIMR, so as a result, I did a bunch of interrupt naming cleanups
because I thought it made more sense.

Coming separately will be the basic i-g-t test cases. I still have some
work to do on those, but figure that the review can go on in parallel.

In terms of the work history, these started as patches by me, finished by
Haihao, and then cleaned up and rebased by me. I tried to leave credit to
Haihao where applicable, but I rewrote a lot of his stuff, so blame me if
something is bad.
