This implements WaProgramMgsrForCorrectSliceSpecificMmioReads which
was omitted by mistake from Gen9 documentation, while it is actually
applicable to fused off parts.
Workaround consists of making sure MCR packet control register is
programmed to point to enabled slice/subslice pair before doing any
MMIO reads from the affected registers.
Failure do to this can result in complete system hangs when running
certain workloads. Two known cases which can cause system hangs are:
1. "test_basic progvar_prog_scope_uninit" test which is part of
Khronos OpenCL conformance suite
(https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenCL-CTS) with the Intel
OpenCL driver (https://github.com/intel/compute-runtime).
2. VP8 media hardware encoding using the full-feature build of the
Intel media-driver (https://github.com/intel/media-driver) and
ffmpeg.
For the former case patch was verified to fix the hard system hang
when executing the OCL test on Intel Pentium CPU 6405U which contains
fused off GT1 graphics.

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.
