[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v5 01/10] drm/i915/guc: Update GuC ADS size for error capture lists

[Teres Alexis, Alan Previn]

So we are coming to an agreement... I will go with the option
of ADS calling intel_guc_capture and asking it for the temp buf ptr and
size and let ADS do the actual copying. I will have to see how straight
forward the copying will be (if u see RFC-rev1 of this series, the ADS
does the full population and calls intel_guc_capture just for the external
(not io-mem) register list pointer. But a lot of code that got injected
into ADS as it traversed through individual error capture substructure
members.


One last comment on below:

I'm sorry I wasnt clear, what i meant is just the part about having an interim
buffer for the error capture register list outside of ADS blob io-memory.
That already exists in all rev's of this series but in rev 3 onwards, as u pointed out
above, the external buffer ptr was not passed to ADS and i was taking the blob ptr from ADS.
Rev-1-RFC probably is closer to what we want.
