[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 6/9] drm/i915/cmdparser: Compare against the previous command descriptor

[Chris Wilson]

On the blitter (and in test code), we see long sequences of repeated
commands, e.g. XY_PIXEL_BLT, XY_SCANLINE_BLT, or XY_SRC_COPY. For these,
we can skip the hashtable lookup by remembering the previous command
descriptor and doing a straightforward compare of the command header.
The corollary is that we need to do one extra comparison before lookup
up new commands.
