[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v4 0/6] i915: SSEU handling updates

This series reworks i915's internal handling of slice/subslice/EU (SSEU)
data to represent platforms like Xe_HP in a more natural manner and to
prepare for future platforms where the masks will need to grow in size.
One key idea of this series is that although we have a fixed ABI to
convey SSEU data to userspace (i.e., multiple u8[] arrays with data
stored at different strides), we don't need to use this cumbersome
format for the driver's own internal storage.  As long as we can convert
into the uapi form properly when responding to the I915_QUERY ioctl,
it's preferable to use an internal storage format that's easier for the
driver to work with.

Another key point here is that we're reaching the point where subslice
(DSS) masks will soon not fit within simple u32/u64 integer values.
Xe_HP SDV and DG2 platforms today have subslice (DSS) masks that are 32
bits, which maxes out the current storage of a u32.  With PVC the masks
are represented by a pair of 32-bit registers, requiring a bump up to at
least 64-bits of storage internally.  We could switch to u64 for that in
the short term, but since we already know that upcoming architectures
intend to provide DSS fuse bits via three or more registers it's best to
switch to a representation that's more future-proof but still easy to
work with in the driver code.  To accomodate this, we start storing our
subslice mask for Xe_HP and beyond in a new typedef that can be
processed by the linux/bitmap.h operations.

Finally, since no userspace for Xe_HP or beyond is using the legacy
I915_GETPARAM ioctl lookups for I915_PARAM_SLICE_MASK and
I915_PARAM_SUBSLICE_MASK (since they've migrated to the more flexible
I915_QUERY ioctl that can return more than a simple u32 value), we take
the opportunity to officially drop support for those GETPARAM lookups on
modern platforms.  Maintaining support for these GETPARAM lookups don't
make sense for a number of reasons:

 * Traditional slices no longer exist, and newer ideas like gslices,
   cslices, mslices, etc. aren't something userspace needs to query
   since it can be inferred from other information.
 * The GETPARAM ioctl doesn't have a way to distinguish between geometry
   subslice masks and compute subslice masks, which are distinct on
   Xe_HP and beyond.
 * The I915_GETPARAM ioctl is limited to returning a 32-bit value, so
   when subslice masks begin to exceed 32-bits (on PVC), it simply can't
   return the entire mask.
 * The GETPARAM ioctl doesn't have a way to give sensible information
   for multi-tile devices.

v2:
 - Switch to union of hsw/xehp formats to keep the representation in a
   natural format for different types of hardware.
 - Avoid accessing internals of intel_sseu_ss_mask_t directly outside of
   intel_sseu.[ch].
 - Include PVC SSEU which needs the larger SS mask storage enabled by
   this series.

v3:
 - Correct a BIT(s) typo that should have been BIT(ss), causing
   incorrect handling on gen9 platforms.

v4:
 - Eliminate sseu->{ss,eu}_stride fields and just calculate the proper
   value in the UAPI code that needs them.
 - Handle unwanted ~u8 sign extension at the callsite instead of inside
   sseu_set_eus.
 - Use BITMAP_BITS() macro rather than passing I915_MAX_SS_FUSE_BITS
   around directly to bitmap operations.
 - Improved debugfs / dmesg reporting for Xe_HP dumps
 - Various assertion check improvements.
