Start partitioning off the code that talks to the hardware (GT) from the
uapi layers and move the device facing code under gt/
One casualty is s/intel_ringbuffer.h/intel_engine.h/ with the plan to
subdivide that header and body further (and split out the submission
code from the ringbuffer and logical context handling). This patch aims
to be simple motion so git can fixup inflight patches with little mess.

Having introduced per-context seqno, we now have a means to identity
progress across the system without feel of rollback as befell the
global_seqno. That is we can program a MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT operation in
advance of submission safe in the knowledge that our target seqno and
address is stable.
However, since we are telling the GPU to busy-spin on the target address
until it matches the signaling seqno, we only want to do so when we are
sure that busy-spin will be completed quickly. To achieve this we only
submit the request to HW once the signaler is itself executing (modulo
preemption causing us to wait longer), and we only do so for default and
above priority requests (so that idle priority tasks never themselves
hog the GPU waiting for others).
As might be reasonably expected, HW semaphores excel in inter-engine
synchronisation microbenchmarks (where the 3x reduced latency / increased
throughput more than offset the power cost of spinning on a second ring)
and have significant improvement (can be up to ~10%, most see no change)
for single clients that utilize multiple engines (typically media players
and transcoders), without regressing multiple clients that can saturate
the system or changing the power envelope dramatically.
v3: Drop the older NEQ branch, now we pin the signaler's HWSP anyway.
v4: Tell the world and include it as part of scheduler caps.

Simplify by using sizeof(u32) to convert from the index inside the HWSP
to the byte offset. This has the advantage of not only being shorter
(and so not upsetting checkpatch!) but that it matches use where we are
writing to byte addresses using other commands than MI_STORE_DWORD_IMM.
v2: Drop the now superfluous MI_STORE_DWORD_INDEX_SHIFT, it appears to
be a local invention so keeping it after the final use does not help to
clarify the GPU instruction.

We should not mix MMIO with MI_INSTR definitions.
v2: sanitize comment, change include order (Chris)
