[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v8 05/10] drm/i915: Introduce host graphics memory partition for GVT-g

From: Bing Niu <bing.niu at intel.com>

This patch introduces host graphics memory partition when GVT-g
is enabled.

Under GVT-g, i915 host driver only owned limited graphics resources,
others are managed by GVT-g resource allocator and kept for other vGPUs.

v7:

- Add comments about low/high GM size for host. (Joonas)

v6:

- Remove kernel parameters used to configure GGTT owned by host. (Chris)
- Other coding style comments from Chris.
- Add more comments for reviewer.

v3:

- Remove fence partition, will use i915 fence stealing in future.(Kevin)
- Santinize GVT host gm kernel parameters. (Joonas)

v2:
- Address all coding-style comments from Joonas previously.
- Fix errors and warnning reported by checkpatch.pl. (Joonas)
- Move the graphs into the header files. (Daniel)
