Profiling has shown that reading from VRAM on BMG is very slow and
introduces significant latency in GuC CT operations. To address this,
CPU-side read buffers (G2H) are moved to system memory, and unnecessary
CPU reads of VRAM in hot paths are removed. This is marked as a fixes
change due to the dramatic improvement in G2H performance, which affects
hot paths such as TLB invalidation fences and fault-storm handling.

We likely have similar issues in hardware fence signaling paths that
currently read from VRAM. A follow-up will move the LRC fence seqno (and
possibly other CPU-side LRC reads) to system memory as well.
