[PATCH v2 1/8] drm/i915/gen9: Add framework to whitelist specific GPU registers

Some of the HW registers are privileged and cannot be written to from
non-privileged batch buffers coming from userspace unless they are added to
the HW whitelist. This whitelist is maintained by HW and it is different from
SW whitelist. Userspace need write access to them to implement preemption
related WA.

The reason for using this approach is, the register bits that control
preemption granularity at the HW level are not context save/restored; so even
if we set these bits always in kernel they are going to change once the
context is switched out. We can consider making them non-privileged by
default but these registers also contain other chicken bits which should not
be allowed to be modified.

In the later revisions controlling bits are save/restored at context level but
in the existing revisions these are exported via other debug registers and
should be on the whitelist. This patch adds changes to provide HW with a list
of registers to be whitelisted. HW checks this list during execution and
provides access accordingly.

HW imposes a limit on the number of registers on whitelist and it is
per-engine. At this point we are only enabling whitelist for RCS and we don't
foresee any requirement for other engines.

The registers to be whitelisted are added using generic workaround list
mechanism, even these are only enablers for userspace workarounds. But by
sharing this mechanism we get some test assets without additional cost (Mika).

v2: rebase

v3: parameterize RING_FORCE_TO_NONPRIV() as _MMIO() should be limited to
i915_reg.h (Ville), drop inline for wa_ring_whitelist_reg (Mika).

v4: improvements suggested by Chris Wilson.
Clarify that this is HW whitelist and different from the one maintained in
driver. This list is engine specific but it gets initialized along with other
WA which is RCS specific thing, so make it clear that we are not doing any
cross engine setup during initialization.
Make HW whitelist count of each engine available in debugfs.
