Add a new module parameter, ring_mask, to allow for disabling
engines during i915 load. This mask follows the intel_engine_id
enum and can be used to hide specified engines from i915 and
from userspace.

The challenge is we can't use our engine_mask for this as that is an
internal bitfield that may change overtime -- and we definitely don't
want the modparam to disable different engines on different kernel
releases.

It's operating under direct control from the user, so dev_notice (as we
treat it as a quirk).

Yeah, it's a valid concern. I was thinking we might just put this
expectation on the user/debugger given this should really only be used
under duress. I'll rethink it and see if I can come up with something a
little safer.

Makes sense. I'll make the change in the next revision.
