drm/i915: Use a cached mapping for the physical HWS
Older gen use a physical address for the hardware status page, for which we use cache-coherent writes. As the writes are into the cpu cache, we use a normal WB mapped page to read the HWS, used for our seqno tracking. Anecdotally, I observed lost breadcrumbs writes into the HWS on i965gm, which so far have not reoccurred with this patch. How reliable that evidence is remains to be seen. v2: Explicitly pass the expected physical address to the hw v3: Also remember the wild writes we once had for HWS above 4G.
