Provide a bit to disable waitboost while waiting on a gem object.
Waitboost results in increased power consumption by requesting RP0
while waiting for the request to complete. Add a bit in the gem_wait()
IOCTL where this can be disabled.

This is related to the libva API change here -
Link: https://github.com/XinfengZhang/libva/commit/3d90d18c67609a73121bb71b20ee4776b54b61a7

This link does not appear to lead to userspace code using this uapi?
We have asked Carl (cc'd) to post a patch for the same.

Probably would be good to avoid mentioning waitboost in the uapi since so far it wasn't an explicit feature/contract. Something like I915_GEM_WAIT_BACKGROUND_PRIORITY? Low priority?
sure.

I also wonder if there could be a possible angle to help Rob (+cc) upstream the syncobj/fence deadline code if our media driver might make use of that somehow.

Like if either we could wire up the deadline into GEM_WAIT (in a backward compatible manner), or if media could use sync fd wait instead. Assuming they have an out fence already, which may not be true.

Makes sense. We could add a SET_DEADLINE flag or something similar and pass in the deadline when appropriate.

Thanks,

Vinay.
