From: Tvrtko Ursulin <tvrtko.ursulin@intel.com>

At the moment execbuf ring selection is fully coupled to
internal ring ids which is not a good thing on its own.

This dependency is also spread between two source files and
not spelled out at either side which makes it hidden and
fragile.

This patch decouples this dependency by introducing an explicit
translation table of execbuf uAPI to ring id close to the only
call site (i915_gem_do_execbuffer).

This way we are free to change driver internal implementation
details without breaking userspace. All state relating to the
uAPI is now contained in, or next to, i915_gem_do_execbuffer.

As a side benefit, this patch decreases the compiled size
of i915_gem_do_execbuffer.

v2: Extract ring selection into eb_select_ring. (Chris Wilson)

Not your bug, but we should limit the flags reported here to
(int)(args->flags & I915_EXEC_BSD_MASK).

Though actually just nuke the test. At the moment, we complain for !BSD,
then allow them even if we don't have BSD2 (and ignore the setting).
A little inconsistent.

If we just document that these flags only provide extra selection
criteria for the I915_EXEC_BSD ring, we would be done. I'll pretend that
it is adequately documented...

Looks good and we completed our review of ABI impact for reordering
the ring ids, so

Yeah, this decoupling is nice, after all the point of include/uapi was to
make the uapi vs. internal headers clear.

There is one regression here, I915_EXEC_BSD_RING1/2 is left-shifted 13 bits, 
so we should add something like
	bsd_idx >>= 13;
Otherwise the kernel panics.
