[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Re-enable aliasing PPGTT mode.

[Zhi Wang]

Hi Chris:
     Thanks for the reply! :P Have you also fixed here with your new ideas?

in intel_lrc:

static u64 execlists_update_context(struct drm_i915_gem_request *rq)
{
         struct intel_context *ce = &rq->ctx->engine[rq->engine->id];
         struct i915_hw_ppgtt *ppgtt = rq->ctx->ppgtt;  // ----> check 
if we should get ppgtt from dev_priv->mm.aliasing_ppgtt.

         u32 *reg_state = ce->lrc_reg_state;

         reg_state[CTX_RING_TAIL+1] = rq->tail;
