From: John Harrison <John.C.Harrison@xxxxxxxxx>
In order to test pre-emption, a flag has been added to the execbuffer() API to
explicitly request that a given batch buffer is made pre-emptive. This is purely
a temporary measure to allow an IGT test to queue pre-emptive and non-preemptive
work loads.
Note that the final solution will be to add an IOCTL to set the priority of a
batch buffer (work in progress elsewhere). The scheduler will then decide to
pre-empt or not based on the assigned priority level.
