Daniel Vetter e21af88d39 drm/i915: enable ppgtt
We want to unconditionally enable ppgtt for two reasons:
- Windows uses this on snb and later.
- We need the basic hw support to work before we can think about real
  per-process address spaces and other cool features we want.

But Chris Wilson was complaining all over irc and intel-gfx that this
will blow up if we don't have a module option to disable it. Hence add
one, to prevent this.

ppgtt support seems to slightly change the timings and make crashy
things slightly more or less crashy. Now in my testing and the testing
this got on troublesome snb machines, it seems to have improved things
only. But on ivb it makes quite a few crashes happen much more often,
see

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41353

Luckily Eugeni Dodonov seems to have a set of workarounds that fix
this issue.

v2: Don't try to enable ppgtt on pre-snb.

v3: Pimp commit message and make Chris Wilson less grumpy by adding a
module option.

v4: New try at making Chris Wilson happy.

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:
