The vma already contains most of the information we need for insertion.
But also in preparation for supporting huge gtt pages, it would be
useful to know the details of the vma, such that we can we can easily
determine the page sizes we are allowed to use when inserting into the
48b PPGTT. This is especially true for 64K where we can't just
arbitrarily use it, since we require aligning/padding the vm space to
2M, which sometimes we can't enforce in the upper levels.

When choosing a slot for an execbuffer, we ideally want to use the same
address as last time (so that we don't have to rebind it) and the same
address as expected by the user (so that we don't have to fixup any
relocations pointing to it). If we first try to bind the incoming
execbuffer->offset from the user, or the currently bound offset that
should hopefully achieve the goal of avoiding the rebind cost and the
relocation penalty. However, if the object is not currently bound there
we don't want to arbitrarily unbind an object in our chosen position and
so choose to rebind/relocate the incoming object instead. After we
report the new position back to the user, on the next pass the
relocations should have settled down.

With full-ppgtt one of the main bottlenecks is the lookup of the VMA
underneath the object. For execbuf there is merit in having a very fast
direct lookup of ctx:handle to the vma using a hashtree, but that still
leaves a large number of other lookups. One way to speed up the lookup
would be to use a rhashtable, but that requires extra allocations and
may exhibit poor worse case behaviour. An alternative is to use an
embedded rbtree, i.e. no extra allocations and deterministic behaviour,
but at the slight cost of O(lgN) lookups (instead of O(1) for
rhashtable). The major of such tree will be very shallow and so not much
slower, and still scales much, much better than the current unsorted
list.

In preparation to support many distinct timelines, we need to expand the
activity tracking on the GEM object to handle more than just a request
per engine. We already use the struct reservation_object on the dma-buf
to handle many fence contexts, so integrating that into the GEM object
itself is the preferred solution. (For example, we can now share the same
reservation_object between every consumer/producer using this buffer and
skip the manual import/export via dma-buf.)
v2: Reimplement busy-ioctl (by walking the reservation object), postpone
the ABI change for another day. Similarly use the reservation object to
find the last_write request (if active and from i915) for choosing
display CS flips.
Caveats:
* busy-ioctl: busy-ioctl only reports on the native fences, it will not
warn of stalls (in set-domain-ioctl, pread/pwrite etc) if the object is
being rendered to by external fences. It also will not report the same
busy state as wait-ioctl (or polling on the dma-buf) in the same
circumstances. On the plus side, it does retain reporting of which
*i915* engines are engaged with this object.
* non-blocking atomic modesets take a step backwards as the wait for
render completion blocks the ioctl. This is fixed in a subsequent
patch to use a fence instead for awaiting on the rendering, see
"drm/i915: Restore nonblocking awaits for modesetting"
* dynamic array manipulation for shared-fences in reservation is slower
than the previous lockless static assignment (e.g. gem_exec_lut_handle
runtime on ivb goes from 42s to 66s), mainly due to atomic operations
(maintaining the fence refcounts).
* loss of object-level retirement callbacks, emulated by VMA retirement
tracking.
* minor loss of object-level last activity information from debugfs,
could be replaced with per-vma information if desired
