Because of the additional firmware, component-driver and initialization depedencies required on MTL platform before a PXP context can be created, UMD calling for PXP creation as a way to get-caps can take a long time. An actual real world customer stack has seen this happen in the 4-to-8 second range after the kernel starts (which sees MESA's init appear in the middle of this range as the compositor comes up). To avoid unncessary delays experienced by the UMD for get-caps purposes, add a GET_PARAM for I915_PARAM_PXP_SUPPORT. However, some failures can still occur after all the depedencies are met (such as firmware init flow failure, bios configurations or SOC fusing not allowing PXP enablement). Those scenarios will only be known to user space when it attempts creating a PXP context and is documented in the GEM UAPI headers. While making this change, create a helper that is common to both GET_PARAM caller and intel_pxp_start since the latter does similar checks.

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.
