According to Bspec + w/a db this should be done for BDW too (actually
BSpec shows it for BDW only?). If that's the case, then we should be
able to kill gen8_emit_flush_coherentl3_wa(), no? Well, as long as
someone goes and adds the DC flush to the normal post batch flush.

Yes this is applicable for BDW also but I wanted to keep only Gen9
patches in this series. I will send separate patch for BDW.
We would still need gen8_emit_flush_coherentl3_wa() because WA requires
that the flush need to happen from the WA batch itself during context
switch.

If we already flush all coherent lines out from DC after each batch,
how can there still be coherent lines in the DC on a context switch?

But spelling that out made me think that mid-batch preemption would
still need it I suppose. But w/o preemption I see no reason why it
would be needed.

Yes, this is to account preemption case (sorry I should've mentioned earlier). Most of the workarounds in WA batch are to account for preemption related issues.

Arun
