drm/i915: disable flushing_list/gpu_write_list
This is just the minimal patch to disable all this code so that we can do decent amounts of QA before we rip it all out. The complicating thing is that we need to flush the gpu caches after the batchbuffer is emitted. Which is past the point of no return where execbuffer can't fail any more (otherwise we risk submitting the same batch multiple times). Hence we need to add a flag to track whether any caches associated with that ring are dirty. And emit the flush in add_request if that's the case. Note that this has a quite a few behaviour changes: - Caches get flushed/invalidated unconditionally. - Invalidation now happens after potential inter-ring sync. I've bantered around a bit with Chris on irc whether this fixes anything, and it might or might not. The only thing clear is that with these changes it's much easier to reason about correctness. Also rip out a lone get_next_request_seqno in the execbuffer retire_commands function. I've dug around and I couldn't figure out why that is still there, with the outstanding lazy request stuff it shouldn't be necessary. v2: Chris Wilson complained that I also invalidate the read caches when flushing after a batchbuffer. Now optimized. v3: Added some comments to explain the new flushing behaviour.
