In order to have fast reads from the GuC log buffer, used SSE4.1 movntdqa
based memcpy function i915_memcpy_from_wc.
GuC log buffer has a WC type vmalloc mapping and copying using movntqda from
WC type memory is almost as fast as reading from WB memory.
This will further reduce the log buffer sampling time, so is needed dearly
to deal with the flush interrupt storm when GuC is generating logs at a very
high rate.
Ideally SSE 4.1 should be present on all chipsets supporting GuC based
submisssions, but if not then logging will not be enabled.
