From: Oscar Mateo <oscar.mateo@intel.com>

Some legacy HW context and ringbuffer code assumptions don't make sense
for this new submission method, so we will place this stuff in a separate
file.

Note for reviewers: I've carefully considered the best name for this file
and this was my best option (other possibilities were intel_lr_context.c
or intel_execlist.c). I am open to a certain bikeshedding on this matter,
anyway. Regarding splitting execlists and logical ring contexts, it is
probably not worth it for the moment.

v2: Change to intel_lrc.c
