The current plan is not to expose PAT index setting via VM_BIND but go
with the defaults. Hence using the i915_cache_level till we decide on
enabling PAT index setting via VM_BIND.

Also, IIUC the cache level we have in i915 apply to L4 as well (BSPEC 45101)

I915_CACHE_NONE -> UC
I915_CACHE_LLC/I915_CACHE_L3_LLC -> WB
I915_CACHE_WT-> WT

But I do not see a means why which we'll know that L4 cache is present
on the platform to select the appropriate cache level.

sure i'll translate cache_level to  PAT index and then program the PTE
using those.

correct the default cache level we have will map uptil PAT index 3 hence
didn't use it and since platform supports it and in future when we have
PAT index setting this will be used.

these are mapped to _PAGE_PWT, _PAGE_PCD and being programmed in
gen8_pte_encode. On the MTL we have new PAT bits in PTE and since the
way these bits are programmed is different redefined for better
understanding.

Thanks.
