When execlists submission is enabled, try full ppgtt by default.

Note, this patch considers that execlist support has been enabled by
default on Gen8.

Imo this has outlived it's usefulness - enable_ppgtt is an unsafe
parameter so everyone setting it themselves gets what they need.
Afair this was just because of the execlist depency on gen8 for ppgtt.

Not sure if I'm following you up on this...
The aim was to change the default value to _full_ only when execlists 
are also enable (after Thomas' patch).  In gen8, we don't want to have 
full ppgtt with legacy ring submission.

Yeah I gotten confused. The comment is a bit misleading thought, maybe
"Full ppgtt needs execlist since otherwise the ctx switch can hang"?

Actually I wasnt' confused: gen8+ has full ppgtt, like gen7. It's broken
without execlist though, so what we should do is just change the default
below. Otherwise if a user explicitly sets execlist=0 and ppgtt=2 we won't
obey that, which doesn't make sense - for isolating bugs this might be a
valid testcase (even when we know there's problems). So your patch should
do two things:
- Generally allow full ppgtt on gen8 - the current restriction doesn't
  make sense.
- Switch the default to full ppgtt when execlist is enabled on gen8+, leave
  the default to aliasing/disabled everywhere else as is.
