[PATCH v8 0/3] Allow scratch page under fault mode for certain platform

[Oak Zeng]

Normally scratch page is not allowed when a vm is operate under page
fault mode, i.e., in the existing codes, DRM_XE_VM_CREATE_FLAG_SCRATCH_PAGE
and DRM_XE_VM_CREATE_FLAG_FAULT_MODE are mutual exclusive. The reason
is fault mode relies on recoverable page to work, while scratch page
can mute recoverable page fault.

On xe2 and xe3, out of bound prefetch can cause page fault and further
system hang because xekmd can't resolve such page fault. SYCL and OCL
language runtime requires out of bound prefetch to be silently dropped
without causing any functional problem, thus the existing behavior
doesn't meet language runtime requirement.

At the same time, HW prefetching can cause page fault interrupt. Due to
page fault interrupt overhead (i.e., need Guc and KMD involved to fix
the page fault), HW prefetching can be slowed by many orders of magnitude.

Fix those problems by allowing scratch page under fault mode for xe2 and
xe3. With scratch page in place, HW prefetching could always hit scratch
page instead of causing interrupt.

A side effect is, scratch page could hide application program error.
Application out of bound accesses are hided by scratch page mapping,
instead of get reported to user.
