drm/i915: Enable THP on Icelake and beyond
We have a statement from HW designers that the GPU read regression when using 2M pages was fixed from Icelake onwards, which was also confirmed by bencharking Eero did last year: """ When IOMMU is disabled, enabling THP causes following perf changes on TGL-H (GT1): 10-15% SynMark Batch[0-3] 5-10% MemBW GPU texture, SynMark ShMapVsm 3-5% SynMark TerrainFly* + Geom* + Fill* + CSCloth + Batch4 1-3% GpuTest Triangle, SynMark TexMem* + DeferredAA + Batch[5-7] + few others -7% MemBW GPU blend In the above 3D benchmark names, * means all the variants of tests with the same prefix. For example "SynMark TexMem*", means both TexMem128 & TexMem512 tests in the synthetic (Intel internal) SynMark test suite. In the (public, but proprietary) GfxBench & GLB(enchmark) test suites, there are both onscreen and offscreen variants of each test. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, numbers are for both variants. All tests are run with FullHD monitor. All tests are fullscreen except for GLB and GpuTest ones, which are run in 1/2 screen window (GpuTest triangle is run both in fullscreen and 1/2 screen window). """ Since the only regression is MemBW GPU blend, against many more gains, it sounds it is time to enable THP on Gen11+.
