[PATCH v3 09/14] drm/i915: Store the execution priority on the context

[Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk>]

In order to support userspace defining different levels of importance to
different contexts, and in particular the preferred order of execution,
store a priority value on each context. By default, the kernel's
context, which is used for idling and other background tasks, is given
minimum priority (all user contexts will execute first).
