FBC and the frontbuffer tracking infrastructure were designed assuming
that user space applications would follow a specific set of rules
regarding frontbuffer management and mmapping. I recently discovered
that current user space is not exactly following these rules: my
investigation led me to the conclusion that the generic backend from
SNA - used by SKL and the other new platforms without a specific
backend - is not issuing sw_finish/dirty_fb/set_domain IOCTLs when
using the CPU and WC mmaps. I discovered this when running lightdm: I
would type the password and nothing would appear on the screen unless
I moved the mouse over the place where the letters were supposed to
appear.

Since we can't detect whether the current DRM master is a well-behaved
application or not, let's use the sledgehammer approach and assume
that every user space client on every gen is bad by disabling FBC when
the frontbuffer is CPU/WC mmapped.  This will allow us to enable FBC
on SKL, moving its FBC-related power savings from "always 0%" to "> 0%
in some cases". This also has the potential to hurt FBC on the older
platforms a little bit, but my quick check suggests we're fine, so I
didn't make this commit SKL-only.

Notice that we may need an equivalent commit for PSR too. We also need
to investigate whether PSR needs to be disabled on GTT mmaps: if
that's the case, we'll have problems since we seem to always have GTT
mmaps on our current user space, so we may end up keeping PSR disabled
forever.

And if you're reading this commit message because either
igt/kms_frontbuffer_tracking or igt/kms_fbc_crc broke and you decided
to bisect, please update your IGT repository. You'll need a series of
commits ending with:
  kms_frontbuffer_tracking: be aware of the new FBC Kernel workaround
