This was the competing idea long ago, but it was only with the rewrite
of the idr as an radixtree and using the radixtree directly ourselves,
along with the realisation that we can store the vma directly in the
radixtree and only need a list for the reverse mapping, that made the
patch performant enough to displace using a hashtable. Though the vma ht
is fast and doesn't require any extra allocation (as we can embed the node
inside the vma), it does require a thread for resizing and serialization
and will have the occasional slow lookup. That is hairy enough to
investigate alternatives and favour them if equivalent in peak performance.
One advantage of allocating an indirection entry is that we can support a
single shared bo between many clients, something that was done on a
first-come first-serve basis for shared GGTT vma previously. To offset
the extra allocations, we create yet another kmem_cache for them.

If all goes well, resetting one engine should not affect the operation of
any others. So to test this, we setup a continuous stream of requests
onto to each of the "innocent" engines whilst constantly resetting our
target engine.

If we move the actual cleanup of the context to a worker, we can allow
the final free to be called from any context and avoid undue latency in
the caller.
v2: Negotiate handling the delayed contexts free by flushing the
workqueue before calling i915_gem_context_fini() and performing the final
free of the kernel context directly
v3: Flush deferred frees before new context allocations

The advent of full-ppgtt lead to an extra indirection between the object
and its binding. That extra indirection has a noticeable impact on how
fast we can convert from the user handles to our internal vma for
execbuffer. In order to bypass the extra indirection, we use a
resizable hashtable to jump from the object to the per-ctx vma.
rhashtable was considered but we don't need the online resizing feature
and the extra complexity proved to undermine its usefulness. Instead, we
simply reallocate the hastable on demand in a background task and
serialize it before iterating.
In non-full-ppgtt modes, multiple files and multiple contexts can share
the same vma. This leads to having multiple possible handle->vma links,
so we only use the first to establish the fast path. The majority of
buffers are not shared and so we should still be able to realise
speedups with multiple clients.
v2: Prettier names, more magic.
v3: Many style tweaks, most notably hiding the misuse of execobj[].rsvd2
