Ben Widawsky e368919008 drm/i915: Dynamic Parity Detection handling
On IVB hardware we are given an interrupt whenever a L3 parity error
occurs in the L3 cache. The L3 cache is used by internal GPU clients
only.  This is a very rare occurrence (in fact to test this I need to
use specially instrumented silicon).

When a row in the L3 cache detects a parity error the HW generates an
interrupt. The interrupt is masked in GTIMR until we get a chance to
read some registers and alert userspace via a uevent. With this
information userspace can use a sysfs interface (follow-up patch) to
remap those rows.

Way above my level of understanding, but if a given row fails, it is
statistically more likely to fail again than a row which has not failed.
Therefore it is desirable for an operating system to maintain a lifelong
list of failing rows and always remap any bad rows on driver load.
Hardware limits the number of rows that are remappable per bank/subbank,
and should more than that many rows detect parity errors, software
should maintain a list of the most frequent errors, and remap those
rows.

DRM_DEBUG row/bank/subbank on errror (Jesse)

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).

The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:

    1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
       the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.

    2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
       hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
       restricted regions of memory.

    3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
       queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
       switch.

    4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
       that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.


Documentation on the DRI is available from:
