The sw cache clean on BDW is a tempoorary workaround because we cannot
set cache clean on blt ring with risk of hungs. So we are doing the cache clean on sw.
However we are doing much more than needed. Not only when using blt ring.
So, with this extra w/a we minimize the ammount of cache cleans and call it only
on same cases that it was being called on gen7.
The traditional FBC Cache clean happens over LRI on BLT ring when there is a
frontbuffer touch happening. frontbuffer tracking set fbc_dirty variable
to let BLT flush that it must clean FBC cache.
fbc.need_sw_cache_clean works in the opposite information direction
of ring->fbc_dirty telling software on frontbuffer tracking to perform
the cache clean on sw side.
v2: Clean it a little bit and fully check for Broadwell instead of gen8.
v3: Rebase after frontbuffer organization.
v4: Wiggle confused me. So fixing v3!

I shouldn't ask everyone to do this and fail myself ...
This extracts all the frontbuffer tracking functions into
intel_frontbuffer.c, adds a DOC overview section and also adds the
missing kerneldoc for i915_gem_track_fb and also pulls it into the
same section for convenience.
v2: Don't forget about the header files.
v3: Oops, might check compilation next time around. To make my life
easier drop the increase_pllclock from set_base_atomic since really,
it doesn't matter if you see your Oops or kgdb with a tiny bit of lag.
v4: Try to better explain how to actually use this, requested by Paulo
on irc.
v5: Explain invalidate/flush a bit clearer.
v6: s/business/busyness/
