[Intel-gfx] [RFC 32/38] drm/i915/bdw: Make the pdp switch a bit less hacky

From: Ben Widawsky <benjamin.widawsky at intel.com>

One important part of this patch is we now write a scratch page
directory into any unused PDP descriptors. This matters for 2 reasons,
first, it's not clear we're allowed to just use 0, or an invalid
pointer, and second, we must wipe out any previous contents from the last
context.

The latter point only matters with full PPGTT. The former point would
only effect 32b platforms, or platforms with less than 4GB memory.
