This is based on Mika Kuoppala's patch below: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.freedesktop.xorg.drivers.intel/61104/match=workaround+hw+preload The patch will preallocate the page directories for 32-bit PPGTT when i915 runs inside a virtual machine with Intel GVT-g. With this change, the root pointers in EXECLIST context will always keep the same. The change is needed for vGPU because Intel GVT-g will do page table shadowing, and needs to track all the page table changes from guest i915 driver. However, if guest PPGTT is modified through GPU commands like LRI, it is not possible to trap the operations in the right time, so it will be hard to make shadow PPGTT to work correctly. Shadow PPGTT could be much simpler with this change. Meanwhile hypervisor could simply prohibit any attempt of PPGTT modification through GPU command for security. The function gen8_preallocate_top_level_pdps() in the patch is from Mika, with only one change to set "used_pdpes" to avoid duplicated allocation later.
