With the introduction of per-process GTT space, the hardware designers thought it wise to also limit the ability to write to MMIO space to only a "secure" batch buffer. The ability to rewrite registers is the only way to program the hardware to perform certain operations like scanline waits (required for tear-free windowed updates). So we either have a choice of adding an interface to perform those synchronized updates inside the kernel, or we permit certain processes the ability to write to the "safe" registers from within its command stream. This patch exposes the ability to submit a SECURE batch buffer to DRM_ROOT_ONLY|DRM_MASTER processes. v2: Haswell split up bit8 into a ppgtt bit (still bit8) and a security bit (bit 13, accidentally not set). Also add a comment explaining why secure batches need a global gtt binding.
