drm/i915: possibly invalidate TLB before context switch
From http://intellinuxgraphics.org/documentation/SNB/IHD_OS_Vol1_Part3.pdf [DevSNB] If Flush TLB invalidation Mode is enabled it's the driver's responsibility to invalidate the TLBs at least once after the previous context switch after any GTT mappings changed (including new GTT entries). This can be done by a pipelined PIPE_CONTROL with TLB inv bit set immediately before MI_SET_CONTEXT. On GEN7 the invalidation mode is explicitly set, but this appears to be lacking for GEN6. Since I don't know the history on this, I've decided to dynamically read the value at ring init time, and use that value throughout. v2: better comment (daniel) Signed-off-by: Ben Widawsky <ben@bwidawsk.net>
