Following the removal of the last workarounds, the only CSB mmio access
is for the old vGPU interface. The mmio registers presented by vGPU do
not require forcewake and can be treated as ordinary volatile memory,
i.e. they behave just like the HWSP access just at a different location.
We can reduce the CSB access to a set of read/write/buffer pointers and
treat the various paths identically and not worry about forcewake.
(Forcewake is nightmare for worstcase latency, and we want to process
this all with irqsoff -- no latency allowed!)

Continuing from the last round - so what to do with this one? It does 
need forcewake. So I think it needs to go if we are claiming there is no 
mmio any longer.

From last round, we decided it didn't, or at least concluded the
(from the lack of) evidence that it does not, because we are not using
forcewake right now...

But we are not sure if our writes stick 100% of the time due using the 
HWSP path. And we are wasting time on MMIO for nothing. Put an "if 
(execlists->csb_use_mmio)" on it?

We only ever read from the status buffer. We always commit to HW with a
mmio write to let the HW know how far we read up to (there's no slot in
the HWSP for our read pointer, just the HW write pointer).

This is the field not used by the HW. I am saying that if we want to 
keep writing to it, lets write to it only in the mode in which we are 
also reading from it. Since this is GVT (csb_use_mmio), the missing 
forcewake problem automatically goes away then. (Comment at the call 
site to say this would also be good.)

This is the field that lets HW know how far we have read up to so it
doesn't overwrite unread entries. (At least if it was obeying classing
ringbuffer rules.)
