[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 09/34] drm/i915: Use PDEs as the guard page

Scary alert.

AFAICT, we simply do not need the guard page if we have the PDEs at the
top since all prefetching is CS related, and it should always be safe to
prefetch into a PDE (provided the PDE is valid). The PDE fetching itself
should not be subject to the prefetching problem, though without full
PPGTT support, we may never know.

Potentially this is achievable even without using the PPGTT reworks I've
done prior to this, but I figure there is no point in rocking the boat
without the PPGTT generalizations I've submitted.

There is a very simple bool left to help test if things break and we
fear guard page related stuff. Of course the commit is easily
revertable as well.

One reason why it's desirable to do this is with the drm_mm_node
allocation I've done with the PDEs, we fragment a bit of space finding the
the first properly aligned address (if my math is right, we get 11 spare
pages fragmented at the top of our address space). This problem didn't
exist with the original implementation that stole the PDEs out from
under the drm_mm.
