Userspace is able to hint to the kernel that its command stream and
auxiliary state buffers already hold the correct presumed addresses and
so the relocation process may be skipped if the kernel does not need to
move any buffers in preparation for the execbuffer. Thus for the common
case where the allotment of buffers is static between batches, we can
avoid the overhead of individually checking the relocation entries.
Note that this requires userspace to supply the domain tracking and
requests for workarounds itself that would otherwise be computed based
upon the relocation entries.

Now that Chris Wilson demonstrated that the key for stability on early
gen 2 is to simple _never_ exchange the physical backing storage of
batch buffers I've tried a stab at a kernel solution. Doesn't look too
nefarious imho, now that I don't try to be too clever for my own good
any more.
v2: After discussing the various techniques, we've decided to always blit
batches on the suspect devices, but allow userspace to opt out of the
kernel workaround assume full responsibility for providing coherent
batches. The principal reason is that avoiding the blit does improve
performance in a few key microbenchmarks and also in cairo-trace
replays.

[danvet:
- Drop the hunk which uses HAS_BROKEN_CS_TLB to implement the ring
wrap w/a. Suggested by Chris Wilson.
- Also add the ACTHD check from Chris Wilson for the error state
dumping, so that we still catch batches when userspace opts out of
the w/a.]

Merge tag 'v3.7-rc2' into drm-intel-next-queued
Linux 3.7-rc2
Backmerge to solve two ugly conflicts:
- uapi. We've already added new ioctl definitions for -next. Do I need to say more?
- wc support gtt ptes. We've had to revert this for snb+ for 3.7 and
also fix a few other things in the code. Now we know how to make it
work on snb+, but to avoid losing the other fixes do the backmerge
first before re-enabling wc gtt ptes on snb+.
And a few other minor things, among them git getting confused in
intel_dp.c and seemingly causing a conflict out of nothing ...
