Add 2 new properties to the i915-perf open ioctl to specify an array
of GEM context handles as well as the length of the array.
Hmm. The other thought is ctx->engine[] where one context may have more
than one logical context instance that OA could track. The extension to
track multiple pinned contexts should equally work for multiple engines.

	I915_DEFINE_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES(engines, 64) = {};
	struct drm_i915_gem_context_param p = {
		.ctx_id = gem_context_create(i915),
		.param = I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES,
		.value = to_user_pointer(&engines),
		.size = sizeof(struct i915_context_param_engines),
	};
	gem_context_set_param(i915, &p);

would do the trick in creating one context with 64 rcs0 that they may
want to track. And that also opens the door to virtual engines over top.

I rather punt this away for now :)

I can't see use cases for Iris/Vulkan.

This seems more of a media thing where we have multiple engines already.

And media doesn't do much perf queries because much of the available counters are 3D/compute and queries are not available on media engines.


We can always bump the perf revision later once we've figured how this would be used.
