GuC and HuC depend on struct_mutex for device
reinitialization. Moving away from this dependency
requires perma-pinning the firmware images in GGTT.
The upper portion of the GuC address space has
a sizeable hole (several MB) that is inaccessible
by GuC. Reserve this range within GGTT as it can
comfortably hold GuC/HuC firmware images.

Use drm_mm_reserve_node() as you want an explicit address.

We should be able to push this to guc init, with appropriate bailing if
something already took the high range.

Should not be required now as you should have completely reserved the range
for the guc, by the guc.

You can even then remove the comment, as we won't even try and put non
guc data here; guc or no guc is decided at module load.

We know the the size of the binaries at this point, so maybe we can do 
something more accurate, like:

	struct drm_mm_node node;
	u32 guc_fw_size = ROUND_UP(guc_fw->size, I915_GTT_PAGE_SIZE);
	u32 huc_fw_size = ROUND_UP(huc_fw->size, I915_GTT_PAGE_SIZE);
	u32 min_reserved_size = guc_fw_size + huc_fw_size;

	ggtt->uc_fw.start =
		min_t(u32, GUC_GGTT_TOP, vm->total - min_reserved_size);
	ggtt->uc_fw.size = ggtt->vm.total - ggtt->uc_fw.start;

	drm_mm_reserve_node(&ggtt->vm.mm, &ggtt->uc_fw);

No need to leave that extra space at the top, the dma engine can access 
all 4GB of the GGTT so we can leave ggtt->vm.total untouched when using 
guc. Just make sure you reserve everything above GUC_GGTT_TOP

Makes sense. I'll make these changes and the one below.

I tried pushing this to guc init, but this bailed immediately as there are
pinnings between the calls to ggtt init and guc init. Did I misinterpret what
you had in mind?
