Matthew Auld 1dbd07e088 drm/i915/uapi: apply ALLOC_GPU_ONLY by default
On small BAR configurations, when dealing with I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE
allocations, we assume that by default, all userspace allocations should
be placed in the non-CPU visible portion.  Note that dumb buffers are
not included here, since these are not "GPU accelerated" and likely need
CPU access. We choose to just always set GPU_ONLY, and let the backend
figure out if that should be ignored or not, for example on full BAR
systems.

In a later patch userspace will be able to provide a hint if CPU access
to the buffer is needed.

v2(Thomas)
 - Apply GPU_ONLY on all discrete devices, but only if the BO can be
   placed in LMEM. Down in the depths this should be turned into a noop,
   where required, and as an annotation it still make some sense. If we
   apply it regardless of the placements then we end up needing to check
   the placements during exec capture. Also it's slightly inconsistent
   since the NEEDS_CPU_ACCESS can only be applied on objects that can be
   placed in LMEM. The other annoyance would be gem_create_ext vs plain
   gem_create, if we were to always apply GPU_ONLY.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
