drm/xe/migrate: Revamp PAT index selection for migrate PTEs

Browse source

Improve PAT index selection logic in xe_migrate.c to avoid unnecessary
coherency overhead when host-side memory is uncached. Previously,
we defaulted to XE_CACHE_WB, which enforces 2-way coherency and may
trigger cacheline pulls from CPU even when host-side memory is never
dirty.

This change introduces xe_migrate_pat_index() to choose the appropriate
PAT index based on the actual TTM caching mode of the buffer object
being mapped. For iGPUs with WC host mappings, we now prefer
XE_CACHE_NONE to skip coherency snoops. For compressed PTEs on newer
platforms, we select XE_CACHE_NONE_COMPRESSION.

This avoids unnecessary cache traffic for uncached host mappings.

v6: (sashiko)
- Only apply the BO's host-side caching for system-memory PTEs.

v5: (Matt A)
- Simplify emit_pte() to derive caching from res->bo directly, removing
  the separate bo parameter
- Leave changes in __xe_migrate_update_pgtables() and
  build_pt_update_batch_sram()
- Fix comment about page-walker coherency in xe_migrate_pat_index()

v4:
- Keep xe_migrate_prepare_vm() on XE_CACHE_WB since page tables require
  page-walker coherency.
- Pass BO into emit_pte() and select PAT attributes from the BO's TTM
  caching mode.
