Some of the HW registers are privileged and cannot be written to from a
non-privileged batch buffers coming from userspace unless they are on whitelist.
Userspace need write access to them to implement preemption related WA.
The reason for using this approach is, the register bits that control preemption
granularity at the HW level are not context save/restored; so even if we set these
bits always in kernel they are going to change once the context is switched out.
We can consider making them non-privileged by default but these registers also
contain other chicken bits which should not be allowed to be modified.
In the later revisions controlling bits are save/restored at context level but
in the existing revisions these are exported via other debug registers and should
be on the whitelist. This patch adds changes to provide HW with a list of registers
to be whitelisted. HW checks this list during execution and provides access accordingly.
HW imposes a limit on the number of registers on whitelist and it is per-engine.
At this point we are only enabling whitelist for RCS and we don't foresee any
requirement for other engines.
The registers to be whitelisted are added using generic workaround list mechanism,
even these are only enablers for userspace workarounds. But by sharing this
mechanism we get some test assets without additional cost (Mika).
v2: rebase
v3: parameterize RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV() as _MMIO() should be limited to
i915_reg.h (Ville), drop inline for wa_ring_whitelist_reg (Mika).
