[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Attempt to fix FBC render tracking with hardware contexts

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

Sadly the FBC_RT_BASE register is part of the hardware context. A
context switch can therefore restore a stale value to the register.
To fix things up, always add an LRI after MI_SET_CONTEXT to update
the register value.

There's still a problem though. If we flip to another buffer between
inserting the LRI to the ring, and the CS actually executing it, a stale
value will again be restored. To fix that, insert another LRI when
updating the FBC state. This won't allow the stale value to persist
indefinitely. So any rendering happening between restoring the stale value
and the LRI fixing it up, will use the stale value. But said rendering
can't be targetting the current front buffer anyway as that would imply
that we queued up some rendering to the new front buffer, and then failed
to wait for it to finish before the flip actually happened.

Let's call this option a). The other options are:
b) Update FBC_RT_BASE at every execbuffer
c) Update all saved contexts manually just before we write FBC_RT_BASE
   The docs dicourage manually poking the contexts though
d) some other approach I didn't consider?

I didn't actually test this (it compiles though :). Would be nice to
have a test case that targets these problems...

I also plugged it into gen7 codepaths too, in case someone would want to
test it there.
