[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v3] drm/i915: Use 64-bit write to optimize writing fence_reg on VGPU

[Zhao Yakui]

On VGPU scenario the read/write operation of fence_reg will be trapped
by the GVT-g. Then gvt-g follows the HW spec to program the fence_reg.
And the gvt-g takes care of updating the fence reg correctly for any
trapped value of fence reg.

So it is unnecessary to read/write fence reg several times. It is enough 
that the fence reg is written only value in 64-bit mdoe. This will help
to reduce the redundantt trap of fence_reg mmio operation.

V1->V2: Fix one typo error of parameter when calling intel_vgpu_active.
V2->V3: Follow Chris Wilson and Daniel Vetter to add more descriptions.
