[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Prefer setting PTE cache age to 3

[Chris Wilson]

We have conflicting benchmark data that suggest either age 0 or age 3 is
better. However, the earlier benchmark on which we based the switch to
age 0

    drm/i915/hsw: Set correct Haswell PTE encodings)

actually seems to prefer the default PTE encoding as age 3. Presumably,
this is in part due to the use of MOCS to override the PTE encodings
when appropriate.
