Subject: [PATCH] drm/xe/guc_ads: allocate UM queues in a separate BO
Move the UM queues into a dedicated BO (ads->um_queue_bo) and avoid
CPU memset operations on it, which eliminates the CPU as a potential
cacheline-polluting agent and helps maintain consistency between GAM
writes and GuC reads.
We also need to ensure the base_dpa for the queue is contiguous on hw
where this is used instead of a GGTT address. Another good reason to
split this out to a separate BO.
