Hmm, ring_mask is more widely used than I was expecting. I think we want
both, static_info if we ever think we can benefit from single-platform
LTO of the engines, but whether to use runtime_info or i915->gt.engine_mask
(and move the engine maps to i915->gt as well).

Advantage of runtime_info, centralised place for debugging.
Disadvantage of runtime_info, centralised place far from code.

Maybe we don't need to say everything is inside runtime_info (just
anything that doesn't fit elsewhere?), but use the hooks for debugging?
Maybe having a central runtime_info is simply a bad idea?
