1. UAPI update:
Without actually changing backward compatible behavior, update
i915's drm-uapi comments that describe the possible error values
when creating a context with I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_PROTECTED_CONTENT.
Since the first merge of PXP support on ADL, i915 returns
-ENXIO if a dependency such as firmware or component driver
was yet to be loaded or returns -EIO if the creation attempt
failed when requested by the PXP firmware (specific firmware
error responses are reported in dmesg).
2. GET_PARAM for PXP:
Because of the additional firmware, component-driver and
initialization depedencies required on MTL platform before a
PXP context can be created, UMD calling for PXP creation as a
way to get-caps can take a long time. An actual real world
customer stack has seen this happen in the 4-to-8 second range
after the kernel starts (which sees MESA's init appear in the
middle of this range as the compositor comes up). To avoid
unncessary delays experienced by the UMD for get-caps purposes,
add a GET_PARAM for I915_PARAM_PXP_SUPPORT.
However, some failures can still occur after all the depedencies
are met (such as firmware init flow failure, bios configurations
or SOC fusing not allowing PXP enablement). Those scenarios will
only be known to user space when it attempts creating a PXP context.
With this change, large delays are only met by user-space procsses
that explicitly need to create a PXP context and boot very early.
There is no way to avoid this today.
