If we find ourselves waiting on a MI_SEMAPHORE_WAIT, either within the
user batch or in our own preamble, the engine raises a
GT_WAIT_ON_SEMAPHORE interrupt. We can unmask that interrupt and so
respond to a semaphore wait by yielding the timeslice, if we have
another context to yield to!
The only real complication is that the interrupt is only generated for
the start of the semaphore wait, and is asynchronous to our
process_csb() -- that is, we may not have registered the timeslice before
we see the interrupt. To ensure we don't miss a potential semaphore
blocking forward progress (e.g. selftests/live_timeslice_preempt) we mark
the interrupt and apply it to the next timeslice regardless of whether it
was active at the time.
v2: We use semaphores in preempt-to-busy, within the timeslicing
implementation itself! Ergo, when we do insert a preemption due to an
expired timeslice, the new context may start with the missed semaphore
flagged by the retired context and be yielded, ad infinitum. To avoid
this, read the context id at the time of the semaphore interrupt and
only yield if that context is still active.

Now that we have offline error capture and can reset an engine from
inside an atomic context while also preserving the GPU state for
post-mortem analysis, it is time to handle error interrupts thrown by
the command parser.
This provides a much, much faster mechanism for us to detect known
problems than using heartbeats/hangchecks, and also provides a mechanism
for when those are disabled. However, it is limited to problems the HW
can detect in the CS and so not a complete solution for detecting lockups.

The design of our interrupt handlers is that we ack the receipt of the
interrupt first, inside the critical section where the master interrupt
control is off and other cpus cannot start processing the next
interrupt; and then process the interrupt events afterwards. However,
Icelake introduced a whole new set of banked GT_IIR that are inherently
serialised and slow to retrieve the IIR and must be processed within the
critical section. We can still push our breadcrumbs out of this critical
section by using our irq_worker. On bdw+, this should not make too much
of a difference as we only slightly defer the breadcrumbs, but on icl+
this should make a big difference to our throughput of interrupts from
concurrently executing engines.
