yes, I need to update it, I know... this has changed at every
revision, but I was lazy and decided to do it at the end after
the whole review process was done. I didn't think that anyone
would go and check it :-D

It's good to know that there is a thorough review here! Thanks!

This whole work started from a a couple of patches from Jonathan
and slowly exploded in this series of 9 patches. I tried to
preserve his work and just add things around them.

What Jonathan originally did was to add aux invalidation support
only for RCS and Compute engines, but then hardware guys updated
the docs asking to do it for basically all the engines.

Thank you,
Andi
