There is a lot of ways to get to our dev_priv depending on which
object is at hand and often what was chosen by the developer.

We can make to_i915() accept different pointers by using compile
time magic. Like:

   dev_priv = to_i915(request);
   dev_priv = to_i915(engine);
   dev_priv = to_i915(ctx);
   dev_priv = to_i915(dev);
   dev_priv = to_i915(guc);
   dev_priv = to_i915(device);

If an unknown pointer is passed to the function it will cause
a compile time failure.

Main advantage is that with this in place we could add and
remove shourtcuts to dev_priv from supported structures easily
and without touching the code which uses it. If we wanted to
fiddle with the balance of structure sizes and number of pointer
dereferencing for example. And it makes the code a bit tidier
and uniform.

I get the readability aspect but is it advisable to hide too many things under macros? In the new code is it expected to always use these macros? if yes then in that case aren't we forcing certain usage? good or bad. This has even wider impact than ring/engine renaming. If we must go this route then we should at least do it in stages to minimize impact.

However the churn is huge so I don't really think this is a
must have.
