From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@xxxxxxxxx>
A new workload command for enabling a load balanced context map (aka
Virtual Engine). Example usage:
1.B
This turns on load balancing for context one, assuming it has already been
configured with an engine map. Only DEFAULT engine specifier can be used
with load balanced engine maps.

+Context load balancing
+----------------------
+
+Context load balancing (aka Virtual Engine) is an i915 feature where the driver
+will pick the best engine (most idle) to submit to given previously configured
+engine map.
+
+Example:
+
+ 1.B
+
+This enables load balancing for context number one.
+
+Submissions to load balanced contexts are only allowed to use the DEFAULT engine
+specifier.
