TR-TT is a hardware feature supported by both i915.ko and xe.ko, which
means we can now finally have Sparse Resources on i915.ko and we also
have 2 options for xe.ko (and whatever is the best should be the
default).
In this patch we use batch commands to write the page tables and
forever keep them in device memory. We maintain a mirror of both the
L3 and and L2 tables because that helps us never having to read the
tables that are in device memory.
We still have some things to improve, but with this commit, workloads
that didn't work at all due to the lack of sparse resources should
at least run.
This is still all disabled by default in i915.ko, you can turn it on
by exporting ANV_SPARSE=1 before launching the applications. For
xe.ko, switch the default with ANV_SPARSE_USE_TRTT=1.
