UAPI Changes:

- Make context persistence optional
  Allow userspace to tie the context lifetime to FD lifetime,
  effectively allowing Ctrl-C killing of a process to also clean
  up the hardware immediately.
  Compute changes: https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime/pull/228
  The compute driver is shipping in Ubuntu. uAPI acked by Mesa folks.

- Put future HW and their uAPIs under STAGING & BROKEN
  Introduces DRM_I915_UNSTABLE Kconfig menu for working on the new
  uAPI for future HW in upstream. We already disable driver loading
  by default the platform is deemed ready. This is a second level
  of protection based on compile time switch (STAGING & BROKEN).

- Under DRM_I915_UNSTABLE: Add the fake lmem region on iGFX
  Fake local memory region on integrated GPU through cmdline:
  memmap=2G$16G i915.fake_lmem_start=0x400000000
  Currently allows testing non-mappable GGTT behavior and running
  kernel selftest for local memory.
