[Intel-gfx] [RFC 03/10] drm/i915: Select engines via class and instance in execbuffer2

[Tvrtko Ursulin]

From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin at intel.com>

Introduce a new way of selecting engines using the engine class
and instance concept.

This is primarily interesting for the VCS engine selection which
is a) currently done via disjoint set of flags, and b) the
current I915_EXEC_BSD flags has different semantics depending on
the underlying hardware which is bad.

Proposed idea here is to reserve 8-bits of flags, to pass in the
engine instance, re-use the existing engine selection bits for
the class selection, and a new flag named
I915_EXEC_CLASS_INSTANCE to tell the kernel this new engine
selection API is in use.

The new uAPI also removes access to the weak VCS engine
balancing as currently existing in the driver.

Example usage to send a command to VCS0:

  eb.flags = i915_execbuffer2_engine(I915_ENGINE_CLASS_VIDEO_DECODE, 0);

Or to send a command to VCS1:

  eb.flags = i915_execbuffer2_engine(I915_ENGINE_CLASS_VIDEO_DECODE, 1);

v2:
 * Fix unknown flags mask.
 * Use I915_EXEC_RING_MASK for class. (Chris Wilson)

v3:
 * Add a map for fast class-instance engine lookup. (Chris Wilson)

v4:
 * Update commit to reflect v3.
 * Export intel_engine_lookup for other users. (Chris Wilson)
 * Split out some warns. (Chris Wilson)

v5:
 * Fixed shift and mask logic.
 * Rebased to be standalone.

v6:
 * Rebased back to follow engine info ioctl.
 * Rename helper to intel_engine_lookup_user. (Chris Wilson)

v7:
 * Rebased.

v8:
 * Rebased after engine class uAPI got in via separate route.
