[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 08/21] drm/i915/guc: Make use of the SW counter field in the context descriptor

The new context descriptor format contains two assignable fields:
the SW Context ID (technically 11 bits, but practically limited to 2032
entries due to some being reserved for future use by the GuC) and the
SW Counter (6 bits).

We don't want to limit ourselves too much in the maximum number of
concurrent contexts we want to allow, so ideally we want to employ
every possible bit available. Unfortunately, a further limitation in
the interface with the GuC means the combination of SW Context ID +
SW Counter has to be unique within the same engine class (as we use
the SW Context ID to index in the GuC stage descriptor pool, and the
Engine Class + SW Counter to index in the 2-dimensional lrc array).
This essentially means we need to somehow encode the engine instance.

Since the BSpec allows 6 bits for engine instance, we use the whole
SW counter for this task. If the limitation of 2032 maximum simultaneous
contexts is too restrictive, we can always squeeze things a bit more
(3 extras bits for hw_id, 3 bits for instance) and things will still
work (Gen11 does not instance more than 8 engines of any class).

Another alternative would be to generate the hw_id per HW context
instead of per GEM context, but that has other problems (e.g. maximum
number of user-created contexts would be variable, no relationship
between a GuC principal descriptor and the proxy descriptor it uses, ...)

Bspec: 12254
