Isn't the original definition of MI_LOAD_REGISTER_REG wrong anyway? It's
a two-operand instruction, each of which is a one-word MMIO register
address, hence always 3 words total. The length bias is 2, so the
so-called 'flags' field must be 1. The original definition (where the
second argument of the MI_INSTR macro is 0) shouldn't work.

So just correct the original definition of MI_LOAD_REGISTER_REG; this
isn't something that's actually changed on GEN8.

I did notice that the original instructions are odd but thought I might be wrong hence I created new ones to not disturb the original ones.
ok I will just correct original one and reuse it.

While we're mentioning it, I think the above MI_LOAD_REGISTER_MEM is
wrong too. The length should be 1 pre-GEN8, and 2 in GEN8+.

ok.
  #define MI_RS_STORE_DATA_IMM    MI_INSTR(0x2B, 0)
  #define MI_LOAD_URB_MEM         MI_INSTR(0x2C, 0)
  #define MI_STORE_URB_MEM        MI_INSTR(0x2D, 0)

And these are wrong too! In fact all of these instructions have been
added under a comment which says "Commands used only by the command
parser". Looks like they were added as placeholders without the proper
length fields, and then people have started using them as though they
were complete definitions :(

Time update them all, perhaps ...
these are not related to this patch, so it can be taken up as a different patch.

Where's the MI_BATCH_BUFFER_END referred to in the comment?

MI_BATCH_BUFFER_END is just below while loop, it is in patch [v3 1/6].
Since the diff context is only few lines it didn't showup in the diff.
