    drm/i915: Move priolist to new i915_sched_engine object · 3e28d371
    Matthew Brost authored
    Introduce i915_sched_engine object which is lower level data structure
    that i915_scheduler / generic code can operate on without touching
    execlist specific structures. This allows additional submission backends
    to be added without breaking the layering. Currently the execlists
    backend uses 1 of these object per each engine (physical or virtual) but
    future backends like the GuC will point to less instances utilizing the
    reference counting.
    
    This is a bit of detour to integrating the i915 with the DRM scheduler
    but this object will still exist when the DRM scheduler lands in the
    i915. It will however look a bit different. It will encapsulate the
    drm_gpu_scheduler object plus and common variables (to the backends)
    related to scheduling. Regardless this is a step in the right direction.
    
    This patch starts the aforementioned transition by moving the priolist
    into the i915_sched_engine object.
