[RFC PATCH 00/15] drm/i915: initial support for huge gtt pages

[Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com>]

This series adds support for huge-pages for the gtt, where "huge"
is 64K, 2M and 1G. This isn't everything I have and there are still some
things which I have yet to implement, like handling evict-for-node with the
64K/4K trickiness, but the hope here is to get some early feedback if possible.

One open question I still have is how the page-size should be handled at the
gem object level, should the page-size be an implementation detail of whichever
backend the gem object uses, where the selected page-size would solely depend
on the size of the object and the availability of huge pages, or do we intend
to expose some kind of hinting, both within our driver and possibly to
userspace?

Patches 1-2 should be ready to go and 3 just needs an r-b from Chris, but the
rest should be considered RFC.

Thanks,
Matt
