UAPI Changes:

- Add I915_MMAP_OFFSET_FIXED

  On devices with local memory `I915_MMAP_OFFSET_FIXED` is the only valid
  type. On devices without local memory, this caching mode is invalid.

  As caching mode when specifying `I915_MMAP_OFFSET_FIXED`, WC or WB will
  be used, depending on the object placement on creation. WB will be used
  when the object can only exist in system memory, WC otherwise.

  Userspace: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/11888

- Reinstate the mmap ioctl for (already released) integrated Gen12 platforms

  Rationale: Otherwise media driver breaks eg. for ADL-P. Long term goal is
  still to sunset the IOCTL even for integrated and require using mmap_offset.

- Reject caching/set_domain IOCTLs on discrete

  Expected to become immutable property of the BO

- Disallow changing context parameters after first use on Gen12 and earlier
- Require setting context parameters at creation on platforms after Gen12

  Rationale (for both): Allow less dynamic changes to the context to simplify
  the implementation and avoid user shooting theirselves in the foot.

- Drop I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_RINGSIZE

  Userspace PR for compute-driver has not been merged

- Drop I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_NO_ZEROMAP

  Userspace PR for libdrm / Beignet was never landed

- Drop CONTEXT_CLONE API

  Userspace PR for Mesa was never landed

- Drop getparam support for I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_ENGINES

  Only existed for symmetry wrt. setparam, never used.

- Disallow bonding of virtual engines

  Drop the prep work, no hardware has been released needing it.

- (Implicit) Disable gpu relocations

  Media userspace was the last userspace to still use them. They
  have converted so performance can be regained with an update.
