drm/i915: Add live selftests for indirect ctx batchbuffers
Indirect ctx batchbuffers are a hw feature of which batch can be run, by hardware, during context restoration stage. Driver can setup a batchbuffer and also an offset into the context image. When context image is marshalled from memory to registers, and when the offset from the start of context register state is equal of what driver pre-determined, batch will run. So one can manipulate context restoration process at cacheline granularity, given some limitations, as you need to have rudimentaries in place before you can run a batch. Add selftest which will write the ring start register to a canary spot. This will test that hardware will run a batchbuffer for the context in question. v2: request wait fix, naming (Chris) v3: test order (Chris) v4: rebase Signed-off-by:Mika Kuoppala <mika.kuoppala@linux.intel.com> Acked-by:
