[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 13/73] drm/i915: Move the modulus for ring emission to the register write

[Chris Wilson]

Space reservation is already safe with respect to the ring->size
modulus, but hardware only expects to see values in the range
0...ring->size-1 (inclusive) and so requires the modulus to prevent us
writing the value ring->size instead of 0. As this is only required for
the register itself, we can defer the modulus to the register update and
not perform it after every command packet. We keep the
intel_ring_advance() around in the code to provide demarcation for the
end-of-packet (which then can be compared against intel_ring_begin() as
the number of dwords emitted must match the reserved space).
