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

More than one test assumes that the spinner is running pretty much
immediately after we have create or submitted it.

In actuality there is a variable delay, especially on execlists platforms,
between submission and spin batch starting to run on the hardware.

To enable tests which care about this level of timing to account for this,
we add a new spin batch constructor which provides an output field which
can be polled to determine when the batch actually started running.

This is implemented via MI_STOREDW_IMM from the spin batch, writing into
memory mapped page shared with userspace.

Using this facility from perf_pmu, where applicable, should improve very
occasional test fails across the set and platforms.

v2:
 Chris Wilson:
 * Use caching mapping if available.
 * Handle old gens better.
 * Use gem_can_store_dword.
 * Cache exec obj array in spin_batch_t for easier resubmit.

I'm dubious about keeping spin->execbuf for precisely this reason.
Almost all the time I want to specify a different execution, and not use
the same context, random fences, etc.

However, it does give a convenient way to get buffers_count and
buffers_ptr, but that is all that is valid (imo) or at least should be
judiciously copied from rather than wholesale.

eb = {
	.buffers_ptr = spin->execbuf.buffers_ptr,
	.buffer_count = spin->execbuf.buffer_count,
	.flags = e2ring(gem_fd, e) | I915_EXEC_NORELOC,
};

Can just keep using start, it's already has the current time from
calculating prep_delay_ns.
