New approach using static tables instead of a programmatic one. This is RFC for
two reasons: firstly because I still need to re-review everything myself (I
wanted to get it out ther asap), and secondly because I'm not 100% convinced
by this approach.

While writing the patches, the approach seemed forceful: I couldn't use const
structs

Or, in other words, this whole thing I just sent is broken and not better that using global variables. I'll try to cache things somewhere else and resend, sorry for even sending this stupid respin.

because there are a good deal of things that need calculations (e.g.
skl_tune_iz_hashing), or need to pass data between the pre- and the post- hooks
(e.g. disable/enable_dop_clock_gating), or cannot be done in tables (e.g. assert
the values make sense for those registers that are masked), or need to extract
fields from structs (whitelist registers). I also cannot predict how future-proof
this thing is.

Furthermote, this is going to be much more difficult to review than the previous
approach, if only because the delta is much bigger. If this approach is preferred,
I stronly suggest we do it in top of the previous one (that way we have the debugfs
output much earlier in the game to make sure we are missing anything).

 From previous cover letters:

Currently, deciding how/where to apply new workarounds is challenging. Often,
workarounds end up applied incorrectly and get lost under certain circumstances
(e.g. a context switch or a GPU reset). This is a proposal to attempt to
eliminate some of this pain, by clarifying the current classification of
workarounds (context saved/restored, global registers, whitelisting, BB),
putting them together on the same file, and improving the existing validation
infrastructure (debugfs/i-g-t).
