On XEHP platforms user is not able to find MMIO triggered reports in the
OA buffer since i915 squashes the context ID fields. These context ID
fields hold the MMIO trigger markers.
Update logic to not squash the context ID fields of MMIO triggered
reports.

+ * On XEHP platforms the behavior of context id valid bit has

+ *
+ * context-switch-report: This is a report with the reason type

+ *
+ * context-valid-bit: A bit that is set in the report ID field

+ * gpu-idle: A condition characterized by a
+ * context-switch-report with context-valid-bit set to 0.
+ *
+ * On prior platforms, context-id-valid bit is set to 0 only
+ * when GPU goes idle. In all other reports, it is set to 1.
+ *
+ * On XEHP platforms, context-valid-bit is set to 1 in a context
+ * switch report if a new context switched in. For all other
+ * reports it is set to 0.
+ *
+ * This change in behavior causes an issue with MMIO triggered
+ * reports. MMIO triggered reports have the markers in the

+ * buffer. Since MMIO triggered reports exist only on XEHP,
+ * we should avoid squashing these for XEHP platforms.
