I sugggested this change to David after staring at the offending patch for
a while. I have no idea and theory whatsoever why this would upset the gpu
less than the other way round. But it seems to work. David promised to
chase hw people a bit more to get a more meaningful answer.
Wrt the comment that this deletes: I've done some digging and afaict
loading context before ppgtt enable was once required before our recent
restructuring of the context/ppgtt init code: Before that context sw setup
(i.e. allocating the default context) and hw setup was smashed together.
Also the setup of the default context was the bit that actually allocated
the aliasing ppgtt structures. Which is the reason for the context before
ppgtt depency.
Or was, since with all the untangling there's no no real depency any more
(functional, who knows what the hw is doing), so the comment is just
stale.
Jani, can you pls paste my elaboration into the commit message when
applying? With that this is:
