    drm/i915: Emit even number of dwords when emitting LRIs · 22a916aa
    Arun Siluvery authored
    The number of DWords should be even when doing ring emits as
    command sequences require QWord alignment.
    
    There was some discussion about the maximum length of the MI_LRI
    command. Quoting Mika
    
    "I did some test with bdw:
    
    "The maximum is 128 writes, resulting the 8 bit length
    field of the command being 0xff, thus following the spec.
    The 128'th write went through.
    
    "Perhaps the max command length is then less in older gens?
    
    "Perhaps WARN_ON(x > 128) in MI_LOAD_REGISTER_IMM would be in place
    but one needs minor tweak to command parser a bit also then.
    
    	#define I915_MAX_WA_REGS 16
    
    keeps us safe for now atleast."
    
    Ville commented that on pre-gen6 the length field seems to be
    restricted to 0x3f though. So for all cases we should be ok.
    
    v2: user LRI variant that can write multiple regs in one go (Damien).
    We can simply insert one NOP at the end instead of one per register write.
