drm/nv50/gr: enable ctxprog xfer only when we need it to save power
This patch adds instructions to ctxprog and by doing, impacts context switching performance. My testcase showed a 1% performance cost using glxgears that is a context-switch bound application. Please test and report bugs/performance/power/other. Many thanks to Maxim Levitsky for his dedicated work on lowering power consumption with nouveau. More patches are coming thanks to his work: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37922Signed-off-by: Martin Peres <martin.peres@ensi-bourges.fr> Signed-off-by: Ben Skeggs <bskeggs@redhat.com>
