As the userspace mappings are torn down on every GPU write, we prefer to
track when the buffer is activated (via a fresh i915_gem_fault). This
makes the LRU conceptually simpler. With coherent mappings, the
remaining use-case for set_domain_ioctl is GPU synchronisation.

With this change, every batchbuffer can use all available fences (save
pinned and scanout, of course) without ever stalling the gpu!
In theory. Currently the actual pipelined update of the register is
disabled due to some stability issues. However, just the deferred update
is a significant win.
Based on a series of patches by Daniel Vetter.
The premise is that before every access to a buffer through the GTT we
have to declare whether we need a register or not. If the access is by
the GPU, a pipelined update to the register is made via the ringbuffer,
and we track the last seqno of the batches that access it. If by the
CPU we wait for the last GPU access and update the register (either
to clear or to set it for the current buffer).
One advantage of being able to pipeline changes is that we can defer the
actual updating of the fence register until we first need to access the
object through the GTT, i.e. we can eliminate the stall on set_tiling.
This is important as the userspace bo cache does not track the tiling
status of active buffers which generate frequent stalls on gen3 when
enabling tiling for an already bound buffer.

As the error occurred on the current object, it means that its state was
not changed and so it should be excluded from the unwind.

We don't track gpu flush request in any special way. So even with
obj->write_domain == 0, a gpu flush might be outstanding but no
yet executed. Even worse, the latest request might use the object
only for reading. So and unconditional call to object_wait_rendering
is needed for !pipelined.
Hence revert that patch fully and untangle the flushing from the
synchronization again.

Besides the minimal improvement in reducing the execbuffer overhead, the

A number of dragons have been seen lurking within the execbuffer code.
The first step is then to isolate them from the rest and begin to
scrutinise them in depth. Suggested by Daniel Vetter.

Simply remove our accounting of objects inside the aperture, keeping
only track of what is in the aperture and its current usage. This
removes the over-complication of BUGs that were attempting to keep the
accounting correct and also removes the overhead of the accounting on
the hot-paths.

Commit d09c23de intended to add a 30ms delay to give the ADD time to
detect any TVs connected. However, it used the sdvo->is_tv flag to do so
which is dependent upon the previous detection result and not whether the
output supports TVs.

Avoid evicting buffers that will be used later in the batch in order to
make room for the initial buffers by pinning all bound buffers in a
single pass before binding (and evicting for) fresh buffer.

On a few devices, like the Mac Mini, the CRT DDC pins are shared between
the analog connector and the digital connector. In this scenario, rely
on the EDID to determine if a digital panel is connected to the digital
connector.

This used to check the precondition that all fences were to be located
in a mappable area, redundant now as those two parameters are combined
into one.
After pinning, we assert that the buffer is bound into the desired
region.
