This emulates execlists on top of the GuC in order to defer submission of
requests to the hardware. This deferral allows time for high priority
requests to gazump their way to the head of the queue, however it nerfs
the GuC by converting it back into a simple execlist (where the CPU has
to wake up after every request to feed new commands into the GuC).

v2: Drop hack status - though iirc there is still a lockdep inversion
between fence and engine->timeline->lock (which is impossible as the
nesting only occurs on different fences - hopefully just requires some
judicious lockdep annotation)
v3: Apply lockdep nesting to enabling signaling on the request, using
the pattern we already have in __i915_gem_request_submit();
v4: Replaying requests after a hang also now needs the timeline
spinlock, to disable the interrupts at least
v5: Hold wq lock for completeness, and emit a tracepoint for enabling signal

Not every request since it does have two virtual ports, or even a bit 
better with request merging. Just saying so it sounds less dramatic for 
people reading commit messages.

Would this be better:

if (iir & (CTX | USR)) {
	set_bit();
	tasklet_hi_schedule();
	
	if (iir & USR) {
		notify_ring();
	}
}

?

Should we put this write under the i915.enable_guc_submission perhasp? 
Maybe it makes no difference since this is after the reset but don't 
know, perhaps it is more logical.

We still wakeup after the first virtual port is drained, with the hope
that the second is full to prevent the stall. What you meant is that we
coalesce requests from the same context into a port, so not every
request need result in an extra interrupt. Almost every request.

No because ^.

If we set the context-switch bit too early (and process the
user-interrupt and the context-switch as two separate passes through the
tasklet), we encounter the error from before that the CSB register may
be undefined. Possibly not since the user interrupt should mean the ring
is powered up (and so the register restored from the power context, one
hopes!), but there is no reason for us to read back the registers until
we see the interrupt telling us they have been updated.

Note sure the best way to write that for simplicity, so I kept the patch
clean.

        if (!(iir & ((GT_RENDER_USER_INTERRUPT | GT_CONTEXT_SWITCH_INTERRUPT) << test_shift)))
                return;

        if (iir & (GT_CONTEXT_SWITCH_INTERRUPT << test_shift))
                set_bit(ENGINE_IRQ_EXECLIST, &engine->irq_posted);

        tasklet_hi_schedule(&engine->irq_tasklet);

        if (iir & (GT_RENDER_USER_INTERRUPT << test_shift))
                notify_ring(engine);

Ok, gcc likes that a lot more.

Perhaps. Although now with the set_bit(CTX_SWITCH), we should be able to
remove this line entirely.

I was just after a milder description so it doesn't sound like we never 
submit more than one request to the GuC.

What's this add/remove grow/shrink up/down business? Something from some 
standard tool?

Back to the topic - should we be concerned here that in execlist mode we 
might wake up the tasklet prematurely? If it manages to run and exit in 
the window between the user interrupt and the context interrupt it would 
just waste cycles. I can easily see ~150us between the two here. What do 
you think?

That was ./scripts/bloat-o-meter

Been worrying, but it's been below the level of sensitivity whilst using

latency/throughput ;) and it highlighted this as a problem, I was thinking
that we would simply split the gen8/gen9 interrupt (GT?) handling.
