This is mostly for correctness so that we know we are running the LR
context correctly (this is, the PDPs are contained inside the context
object).
v2: Move the check to inside the enable PPGTT function. The switch
happens in two places: the legacy context switch (that we won't hit
when Execlists are enabled) and the PPGTT enable, which unfortunately
we need. This would look much nicer if the ppgtt->enable was part of
the ring init, where it logically belongs.
v3: Move the check to the start of the enable PPGTT function. None
of the legacy PPGTT enabling is required when using LRCs as the
PPGTT is enabled in the context descriptor and the PDPs are written
in the LRC.
v4: Clarify comment based on review feedback.

************************************************************
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:
