drm/i915: Allow user to set cache at BO creation
To comply with the design that buffer objects shall have immutable cache setting through out their life cycle, {set, get}_caching ioctl's are no longer supported from MTL onward. With that change caching policy can only be set at object creation time. The current code applies a default (platform dependent) cache setting for all objects. However this is not optimal for performance tuning. The patch extends the existing gem_create uAPI to let user set PAT index for the object at creation time. The new extension is platform independent, so UMD's can switch to using this extension for older platforms as well, while {set, get}_caching are still supported on these legacy paltforms for compatibility reason. However, since PAT index was not clearly defined for platforms prior to GEN12 (TGL), so we are limiting this externsion to GEN12+ platforms only. See ext_set_pat() in for the implementation details. The documentation related to the PAT/MOCS tables is currently available for Tiger Lake here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/graphics-for-linux/developer-reference/1-0/tiger-lake.html The documentation for other platforms is currently being updated.
