Some random bits to make the LRC irq handler do fewer branching,
locking and VMA lookups per interrupt handled.

I failed to measure a significant gain on a powerful chip but it
definitely results in fewer instructions and branches in the hot
path. So maybe it would help a lower power chip more.

Possibly makes the first run of gem_exec_nop have less variance
eg. branch predictor maybe gets warmed up sooner but I am not
completely confident in this interpretation.

Tvrtko Ursulin (5):
  drm/i915: Avoid invariant conditionals in lrc interrupt handler
  drm/i915: Move LRCA check out of the hot path
  drm/i915: Cache LRCA in the context
  drm/i915: Grab one forcewake across the whole LRC irq handler
  drm/i915: Only grab and calculate timestamps when needed
