At the moment execbuf ring selection is fully coupled to
internal ring ids which is not a good thing on its own.

This dependency is also spread between two source files and
not spelled out at either side which makes it hidden and
fragile.

This patch decouples this dependency by introducing an explicit
translation table of execbuf uAPI to ring id close to the only
call site (i915_gem_do_execbuffer).

This way we are free to change driver internal implementation
details without breaking userspace. All state relating to the
uAPI is now contained in, or next to, i915_gem_do_execbuffer.

I was hesistant at first, since "why?" isn't fully developed, but the
code won me over.

I was wondering whether packing here mattered at all, but we're under a
cacheline so highly unlikely.

One question, how does this look if we move this section to its own
function:

ring = eb_select_ring(dev_priv, file, args);
if (IS_ERR(ring))
	return PTR_ERR(ring);

Do you keep your code size reduction?

No, perhaps because of all the ERR_PTR business. But decoupling the ring and return value keeps it:

static int
eb_select_ring(struct drm_i915_private *dev_priv,
	       struct drm_file *file,
	       struct drm_i915_gem_execbuffer2 *args,
	       struct intel_engine_cs **ring)

Saves ~100 bytes out of ~4600 on my build.

Technically, this breaks userspace ABI elsewhere. :| Though the only
user of the id mask is only looking for RCS==0 vs the reset.

So I think we would cope, but to be extra safe we could just avoid
reshuffling the ids. Let me sleep on the implications. We may say just
break that ABI whilst we still can and do a reverse-map to EXEC bit.
Hmm.

What are the other places it breaks the ABI? I'd like to understand it.
