[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Enable eLLC caching of display buffers for SKL+

From: Ville Syrjälä <ville.syrjala at linux.intel.com>

Since SKL the eLLC has been sitting on the far side of the system
agent, meaning the display engine can utilize it. Let's enable that.

I chose WB for the caching mode, because my numbers are indicating
that WT might actually be WB and WC might actually be UC. I'm not
100% sure that is indeed the case but at least my simple rendercopy
based benchmark didn't see any difference in performance.

Also if I configure things to do LLCeLLC+WT I still get cache dirt
on my screen, suggesting that is in fact operating in WB mode
anyway. This is also the reason I had to fix the MOCS target cache
to really say PTE rather than LLC+eLLC.

Caveat: I've not benchmarked any real workloads. IIRC Eero did
benchmark an earlier version, but that didn't have the PTE vs.
LLC+eLLC MOCS fix so it wasn't actually doing the right thing
most likely.
