Now that we have the ability to allocate our own context backing objects
and we have multiplexed one of them per engine inside the context structs,
we can finally allocate and free them correctly.
Regarding the context size, reading the register to calculate the sizes
can work, I think, however the docs are very clear about the actual
context sizes on GEN8, so just hardcode that and use it.
v2: Rebased on top of the Full PPGTT series. It is important to notice
that at this point we have one global default context per engine, all
of them using the aliasing PPGTT (as opposed to the single global
default context we have with legacy HW contexts).
v3:
- Go back to one single global default context, this time with multiple
backing objects inside.
- Use different context sizes for non-render engines, as suggested by
Damien (still hardcoded, since the information about the context size
registers in the BSpec is, well, *lacking*).
- Render ctx size is 20 (or 19) pages, but not 21 (caught by Damien).
- Move default context backing object creation to intel_init_ring (so
that we don't waste memory in rings that might not get initialized).
v4:
- Reuse the HW legacy context init/fini.
- Create a separate free function.
- Rename the functions with an intel_ preffix.
v5: Several rebases to account for the changes in the previous patches.

For the moment this is just a placeholder, but it shows one of the
main differences between the good ol' HW contexts and the shiny
new Logical Ring Contexts: LR contexts allocate and free their
own backing objects. Another difference is that the allocation is
deferred (as the create function name suggests), but that does not
happen in this patch yet, because for the moment we are only dealing
with the default context.
Early in the series we had our own gen8_gem_context_init/fini
functions, but the truth is they now look almost the same as the
legacy hw context init/fini functions. We can always split them
later if this ceases to be the case.
Also, we do not fall back to legacy ringbuffers when logical ring
context initialization fails (not very likely to happen and, even
if it does, hw contexts would probably fail as well).
v2: Daniel says "explain, do not showcase".

Depending upon one module option to be sanitized (through USES_PPGTT)
for the other is a bit too fragile for my taste. At least WARN about
this.

GEN8 brings an expansion of the HW contexts: "Logical Ring Contexts".
These expanded contexts enable a number of new abilities, especially
"Execlists".
The macro is defined to off until we have things in place to hope to
work.
v2: Rename "advanced contexts" to the more correct "logical ring
contexts".
v3: Add a module parameter to enable execlists. Execlist are relatively
new, and so it'd be wise to be able to switch back to ring submission
to debug subtle problems that will inevitably arise.
v4: Add an intel_enable_execlists function.
v5: Sanitize early, as suggested by Daniel. Remove lrc_enabled.

Some legacy HW context code assumptions don't make sense for this new
submission method, so we will place this stuff in a separate file.
Note for reviewers: I've carefully considered the best name for this file
and this was my best option (other possibilities were intel_lr_context.c
or intel_execlist.c). I am open to a certain bikeshedding on this matter,
anyway.
And some point in time, it would be a good idea to split intel_lrc.c/.h
even further, but for the moment just shove everything together.
v2: Change to intel_lrc.c
v3: Squash together with the header file addition
