Eventually i plan to create a backend abstraction for tee based vs mtl's gscccs based and rather keep as much of the
checking on the front end to keep it cleaner.

yeah - ok.

Okay, let me take a look at that since i recall that future patches would rely on intel_gtpxp_is_supported for the case
where PXP is not supported but we just want to know if GT has backend tee for component binding or something - but i
guess that could get a separate function as opposed to reusing intel_gtpxp_is_supported.

I think that existing method isn't a good way - i rather use this opportunity to set a precendence for pxp we can have a
more standardized naming convention based on the global-vs-per-gt level checking (i also wish i had time to look at
"intra-vs-inter function naming). So when something is called with _pxp_ its meant to be called as a global check
(passing in i915 as its param) and if its using _gtpxp_, then its meant to be called as gt-level checker. And the
similar function name should be okay if the check is similar (just at different hierarchy level). I prefer my way
because it allows that understanding purely from the function name as opposed to having to look at the full definition
before knowing if its a global check vs a gt level check. I think we really ought to have a more concise naming
convention as opposed to "we do it like this, so why not just follow". An alternative would be instead of
"intel_gtpxp_is_supported" then "intel_gt_supports_pxp".
