drm/xe/vram: revamp CPU VRAM mapping

Browse source

Previously, we called devm_ioremap_wc() for the entire PCI LMEM BAR (which
can be significantly larger than usable memory, e.g., mapping 16G for a
10G card), and then simply assigned subsets of this global mapping to each
tile.

By moving the devm_ioremap_wc() call into vram_region_init() and mapping
on a per-tile basis, we restrict the virtual address space to exactly
the usable_size of each tile. The other big win is that the core kernel
will place a guard page at the end of each per-tile mapping to help
catch OOB CPU writes (e.g. into the flat CCS storage) by triggering an
immediate page fault instead of silent memory corruption.

As a consequence the global vram->mapping is now NULL. But that was
unused anyway, with CPU access already correctly routed through the per
tile mapping.

v2 (Sashiko)
  - Make sure to update the panic flow to now use the root tile.
