GuC submission is basically execlist submission, but with the GuC
handling the actual writes to the ELSP and the resulting context
switch interrupts. So to prepare a context for submission via the
GuC, we need some of the same functions used in execlist mode.
This commit exposes two such functions, changing their names to
better describe what they do (they're related to logical ring
contexts rather than to execlists per se).

v2:
    Replaces previous "drm/i915: Move execlists defines from .c to .h"

I actually regret my original copycat of this function for guc. Because 
updating ring tail is moved to guc, there is no need to call this for 
each submission. Maybe we should split this call into two parts. The 
updating of ring buffer base is moved to where ring buffer is newly 
mapped. And the updating of tail is kept here for execlist submission only.

If you would be so kind to review patches that do just that, it would
make intel_lrc a much nicer place to work, and execlists much faster.

I've deleted Alex's coy of this function in the GuC code; that's why the
execlists/LRC version is exposed so that it can be shared with the GuC
path, and the update of "tail" here is conditional, so the GuC call
doesn't use that part.

I agree it would be nicer still to update the ringbuffer base address
only at the point when it's pinned to the GGTT, rather than on each
batch submission. As you say, that would allow us to remove this call
entirely from the GuC path.

Another improvement would be to kmap the context whenever it's active,
the way we already do for the ringbuffer, so we could get rid of the
kmap_atomic calls here. Since contexts and ringbuffers are one-to-one in
execlist/GuC modes, it should be simple to keep them mapped-and-pinned
in paralell.

Further, perhaps we could allocate them in a single contiguous structure
to further reduce overhead; 4 pages of ringbuffer, one page as a GuC
shared channel, one page for the (PP)HWSP, some number of pages for the
context image? All GGTT-pinned and kmapped together whenever they've got
any work in-flight; all unpinned and unmapped either during retirement
of the last-active-request in that context or lazily some time later.

I expect Chris has already implemented some of these ideas :)

.Dave.
