mainlining shenanigans
16e8745967
Since the introduction of 'soft-rc6', we aim to park the device quickly and that results in frequent idling of the whole device. Currently upon idling we free the batch buffer pool, and so this renders the cache ineffective for many workloads. If we want to have an effective cache of recently allocated buffers available for reuse, we need to decouple that cache from the engine powermanagement and make it timer based. As there is no reason then to keep it within the engine (where it once made retirement order easier to track), we can move it up the hierarchy to the owner of the memory allocations. v2: Hook up to debugfs/drop_caches to clear the cache on demand.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
