alan:i was thinking of taking a page from huc-authentication's get-param where we could return different values based on startup progress - in all cases we never block:
 1. we dont support it in hw/kernel (i.e. not pxp in device-info or not enough CONFIG_foo - reusing intel_pxp_is_supported?)
 2. we support it in kernel but internal dependencies are still in progress (i.e. we have not yet completed huc-loading/huc-authen/proxy-init - UAPI spec should include how many
max seconds delay per platform)
 3. we support it in kernel but internal dependencies failed (i.e. we know huc-load/authent. failed ... or we know proxy-init failed).
 4. we support it in kernel but platform has no support (at this stage we actually attempt to create a PXP context or create the arb-session from inside i915-get-param but we ended
up a PXP fw error indicating select list of failures such as fusing / BIOS-config / wrong-version.
 0. we support it completely i.e. step 4's attempt to create active PXP session succeeded

I want to differentiate 3 and 4 (as opposed to return x-means-ENODEV) because i have am sure it will save debug time when facing customer issues.
Ofc we will have to optimize the checking sequences above but at #4, we would be creating a session which might take up to ~200 milisecs for the round trip response from fw.
We could store a flag in i915-pxp-internal-struct to indicate if we ever did succeed a pxp creation after a fresh boot ... intel_pxp_is_ready_for_active()? 
... true only if we ever did allocate a slot successfully at least once since boot.
This also ensure mesa init will return almost immediately except at the first time when hitting #4.
