drm/i915: Use multiple VMs -- the point of no return
As with processes which run on the CPU, the goal of multiple VMs is to provide process isolation. Specific to GEN, there is also the ability to map more objects per process (2GB each instead of 2Gb-2k total). For the most part, all the pipes have been laid, and all we need to do is remove asserts and actually start changing address spaces with the context switch. Since prior to this we've converted the setting of the page tables to a streamed version, this is quite easy. One important thing to point out (since it'd been hotly contested) is that with this patch, every context created will have it's own address space (provided the HW can do it). v2: Disable BDW on rebase NOTE: I tried to make this commit as small as possible. I needed one place where I could "turn everything on" and that is here. It could be split into finer commits, but I didn't really see much point.
