[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v5 1/6] drm/i915/gen8: Add infrastructure to initialize WA batch buffers

Some of the WA are to be applied during context save but before restore and
some at the end of context save/restore but before executing the instructions
in the ring, WA batch buffers are created for this purpose and these WA cannot
be applied using normal means. Each context has two registers to load the
offsets of these batch buffers. If they are non-zero, HW understands that it
need to execute these batches.

v1: In this version two separate ring_buffer objects were used to load WA
instructions for indirect and per context batch buffers and they were part
of every context.

v2: Chris suggested to include additional page in context and use it to load
these WA instead of creating separate objects. This will simplify lot of things
as we need not explicity pin/unpin them. Thomas Daniel further pointed that GuC
is planning to use a similar setup to share data between GuC and driver and
WA batch buffers can probably share that page. However after discussions with
Dave who is implementing GuC changes, he suggested to use an independent page
for the reasons - GuC area might grow and these WA are initialized only once and
are not changed afterwards so we can share them share across all contexts.

The page is updated with WA during render ring init. This has an advantage of
not adding more special cases to default_context.

We don't know upfront the number of WA we will applying using these batch buffers.
For this reason the size was fixed earlier but it is not a good idea. To fix this,
the functions that load instructions are modified to report the no of commands
inserted and the size is now calculated after the batch is updated. A macro is
introduced to add commands to these batch buffers which also checks for overflow
and returns error.
We have a full page dedicated for these WA so that should be sufficient for
good number of WA, anything more means we have major issues.
The list for Gen8 is small, same for Gen9 also, maybe few more gets added
going forward but not close to filling entire page. Chris suggested a two-pass
approach but we agreed to go with single page setup as it is a one-off routine
and simpler code wins. Moved around functions to simplify it further, add comments
and fix alignment check.

One additional option is offset field which is helpful if we would like to
have multiple batches at different offsets within the page and select them
based on some criteria. This is not a requirement at this point but could
help in future (Dave).

(Many thanks to Chris, Dave and Thomas for their reviews and inputs)
