Usage of Transparent Hugepages was disabled in 9987da4b5dcf
("drm/i915: Disable THP until we have a GPU read BW W/A"), but since it
appears majority of performance regressions reported with an enabled IOMMU
can be almost eliminated by turning them on, lets do that by adding a
couple of Kconfig options.

To err on the side of safety we keep the current default in cases where
IOMMU is not active, and only when it is default to the "huge=within_size"
mode. Although there probably would be wins to enable them throughout,
more extensive testing across benchmarks and platforms would need to be
done.

With the patch and IOMMU enabled my local testing on a small Skylake part
shows OglVSTangent regression being reduced from ~14% to ~2%.

v2:
 * Add Kconfig dependency to transparent hugepages and some help text.
 * Move to helper for easier handling of kernel build options.

I guess the 14% regression is iommu disabled vs iommu enabled? Would
be good to clarify that.

Uh I'm really not a huge fan of Kconfig for everything, especially for
tuning stuff. Maybe if there's a need a module param for debugging,
but otherwise can't we just pick the right default?

And it very much sounds like the right default here is "enable it
unconditionally if we have iommu support".

Should be clear from the first paragraph above - "...majority of 
performance regressions reported with an _enabled_ IOMMU can be almost 
eliminated...".

Kconfig is picking the right default so I do not see a problem by 
allowing override from a deep enough menu. But I also do not feel so 
strongly about bikeshedding this to no kconfig, or a module param, or 
whatever - there are votes for all three options already, as usual. Main 
problem I have is actually..

.. about this - who knows? I will remind you of a certain VLK-20150 
which I thought was very important for going forward but was falling on 
deaf ears for years. As such I am waiting for Eero to come back and 
improvise some unofficial testing. It's extra bewildering to me given 
how we had the facility and then shut it down just like that.

Yeah I inferred, but might be good to hammer that in by repeating, like

"reduced from 14% (for IOMMU on vs off case) to 2% (IOMMU on with THP
enabled vs IOMMU off with THP disabled)"

Yeah that's pretty much what Kconfig is abused for: Everyone brings
their bikeshed because they're not quite happy, and it gets "resolved"
by Kconfigs to give everyone what they want. It just leads to
combinatorial explosion that no on tests. Hence unless we have a
demonstrated benefit of the choices there's going to be one default,
and you get to decide (which you did).

Oh sure the general performance tuning is terrible, and also the
specific case of when THP. But we're looking the very specific case of
"IOMMU is enabled and it sucks away perf", and it looks like enabling
THP is the answer. So let's just do that.

Ofc we don't have full perf data, but we never have that even with a
nice perf lab (there's always more to benchmark than there's machine
time), so just doing as good as we can is imo perfectly fine enough.
You've put in the work (at least a bit), you get to pick the default
until we find something new.
