[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 10/38] drm/i915: Force MMIO flips when scheduler enabled

From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison at Intel.com>

MMIO flips are the preferred mechanism now but more importantly, pipe
based flips cause issues for the scheduler. Specifically, submitting
work to the rings around the side of the scheduler could cause that
work to be lost if the scheduler generates a pre-emption event on that
ring.
