We only use the preempt context to inject an idle point into execlists.
We never need to reference its logical state, so tell the GPU never to
load it or save it.

v2: BIT(2) for save-inhibit.

N.B. Daniele mentioned this bit mbz for ICL, and has been moved into the
submission process rather than the context image.

This shouldn't break anything and ICL is not merged yet (plus things may
still change) so if you want to merge this,

I think it's the right thing conceptually to do.

Uhoh, seeing GPU hangs on Broxton when thrashing preemption.
Is the bit still valid?

It should be valid, but nobody used cxt save inhibit until now (it doesn't surprise bxt is doing something different).
