This patch is a preparation for replacing enum i915_cache_level with PAT
index. Caching policy for buffer objects is set through the PAT index in
PTE, the old i915_cache_level is not sufficient to represent all caching
modes supported by the hardware.
Preparing the transition by adding some platform dependent data structures
and helper functions to translate the cache_level to pat_index.
cachelevel_to_pat: a platform dependent array mapping cache_level to
pat_index.
max_pat_index: the maximum PAT index recommended in hardware specification
Needed for validating the PAT index passed in from user
space.
i915_gem_get_pat_index: function to convert cache_level to PAT index.
obj_to_i915(obj): macro moved to header file for wider usage.
I915_MAX_CACHE_LEVEL: upper bound of i915_cache_level for the
convenience of coding.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
