Zhipeng Gong 5da795b061 drm/i915/gvt: Make MI_USER_INTERRUPT nop in cmd parser
GVT-g dispatches request to host i915 and depends on i915 notify
ring interrupt mechanism to check completion of request.
For now MI_USER_INTERRUPT in guest requests is passed through
in GVT-g cmd parser and i915 does not use it, which causes
unnecessary interrupt handling in i915.
On the other hand, if several requests from guest are combined into
one request in and contain MI_USER_INTERRUPT in the middle of
combined request. GVT-g still has to wait on the whole request to
complete to inject user interrupts to guest.

This patch makes all the MI_USER_INTERRUPT nop to save some interrupt
handling.

Here is test result to run glmark2 on guest for 10 seconds:
host master interrupts number is reduced from 16021 to 11162
host user interrupts number is reduced from 7936 to 3536

v2:
- revise commit message. (Kevin)

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
