The engine provides a mirror of the CSB in the HWSP. If we use the
cacheable reads from the HWSP, we can shave off a few mmio reads per
context-switch interrupt (which are quite frequent!). Just removing a
couple of mmio is not enough to actually reduce any latency, but a small
reduction in overall cpu usage.
Much appreciation for Ben dropping the bombshell that the CSB was in the
HWSP and for Michel in digging out the details.
v2: Don't be lazy, add the defines for the indices.
v3: Include the HWSP in debugfs/i915_engine_info
v4: Check for GVT-g, it currently depends on intercepting CSB mmio
v5: Fixup GVT-g mmio path
v6: Disable HWSP if VT-d is active as the iommu adds unpredictable
memory latency. (Mika)
