drm/i915/ringbuffer: Delay after EMIT_INVALIDATE for gen4/gen5
Exercising the gpu reloc path strenuously revealed an issue where the updated relocations (from MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM) were not being observed upon execution. After some experiments with adding pipecontrols (a lot of pipecontrols (32) as gen4/5 do not have a bit to wait on earlier pipe controls or even the current on), it was discovered that we merely needed to delay the EMIT_INVALIDATE by several flushes. It is important to note that it is the EMIT_INVALIDATE as opposed to the EMIT_FLUSH that needs the delay as opposed to what one might first expect -- that the delay is required for the TLB invalidation to take effect (one presumes to purge any CS buffers) as opposed to a delay after flushing to ensure the writes have landed before triggering invalidation.
