Rather than using wait_for_atomic() when chacking for a response from
the GuC, we can get the effect of a hybrid spin/sleep wait by breaking
it into two stages. First, spin-wait for up to 10us to minimise latency
for "quick" commands; then, if that times out, sleep-wait for up 10ms
(the maximum allowed for a "slow" command).
Being able to do this depends on the recent patch
18f4b84 drm/i915: Use atomic waits for short non-atomic ones
and is similar to the hybrid approach in
1758b90 drm/i915: Use a hybrid scheme for fast register waits
(although we can't use that as-is, because that interface doesn't quite
match what we need here).

Ideally, we want to automagically have the GPU respond to the
instantaneous load by reclocking itself. However, reclocking occurs
relatively slowly, and to the client waiting for a result from the GPU,
too late. To compensate and reduce the client latency, we allow the
first wait from a client to boost the GPU clocks to maximum. This
overcomes the lag in autoreclocking, at the expense of forcing the GPU
clocks too high. So to offset the excessive power usage, we currently
allow a client to only boost the clocks once before we detect the GPU
is idle again. This works reasonably for say the first frame in a
benchmark, but for many more synchronous workloads (like OpenCL) we find
the GPU clocks remain too low. By noting a wait which would idle the GPU
(i.e. we just waited upon the last known request), we can give that
client the idle boost credit (for their next wait) without the 100ms
delay required for us to detect the GPU idle state. The intention is to
boost clients that are stalling in the process of feeding the GPU more
work (and who in doing so let the GPU idle), without granting boost
credits to clients that are throttling themselves (such as compositors).

The retire worker is a low frequency task that makes sure we retire
outstanding requests if userspace is being lax. We only need to start it
once as it remains active until the GPU is idle, so do a cheap test

need correct locking in the worker to make the hot path of request
submission cheap. To keep the symmetry and keep hangcheck strictly bound

worker before dropping the wakelock.

On Ironlake, there is no command nor register to ensure that the write
from a MI_STORE command is completed (and coherent on the CPU) before the
command parser continues. This means that the ordering between the seqno
write and the subsequent user interrupt is undefined (like gen6+). So to
ensure that the seqno write is completed after the final user interrupt
we need to delay the read sufficiently to allow the write to complete.
This delay is undefined by the bspec, and empirically requires 75us even
though a register read combined with a clflush is less than 500ns. Hence,
the delay is due to an on-chip buffer rather than the latency of the write
to memory.
Note that the render ring controls this by filling the PIPE_CONTROL fifo
with stalling commands that force the earliest pipe-control with the
seqno to be completed before the command parser continues. Given that we
need a barrier operation for BSD, we may as well forgo the extra
per-batch latency by using a common per-interrupt barrier.
Studying the impact of adding the usleep shows that in both sequences of
and individual synchronous no-op batches is negligible for the media
engine (where the write now is unordered with the interrupt). Converting
the render engine over from the current glutton of pie-controls over to
the per-interrupt delays speeds up both the sequential and individual
synchronous no-ops by 20% and 60%, respectively. This speed up holds
even when looking at the throughput of small copies (4KiB->4MiB), both
serial and synchronous, by about 20%. This is because despite adding a
significant delay to the interrupt, in all likelihood we will see the
seqno write without having to apply the barrier (only in the rare corner
cases where the write is delayed on the last required is the delay
necessary).

After the elimination of using the scratch page for Ironlake's
breadcrumb, we no longer need to kmap the object. We therefore can move
it into the high unmappable space and do not need to force the object to
be coherent (i.e. snooped on !llc platforms).

By using the same address for storing the HWS on every platform, we can
remove the platform specific vfuncs and reduce the get-seqno routine to
a single read of a cached memory location.
v2: Fix semaphore_passed() to look at the signaling engine (not the
waiter's)
