GuC has its own steering mechanism and can't use the default set by i915,
so we need to provide the steering information that the FW will need to
save/restore registers while processing an engine reset. The GUC
interface allows us to do so as part of the register save/restore list
and it requires us to specify the steering for all multicast register, even
those that would be covered by the default setting for cpu access. Given
that we do not distinguish between registers that do not need steering and
registers that are guaranteed to work the default steering, we set the
steering for all entries in the guc list that do not require a special
steering (e.g. mslice) to the default settings; this will cost us a few
extra writes during engine reset but allows us to keep the steering
logic simple.
