The cpu (de)tiler hw is gone, this stopped being useful. Plus it never

This would totally break a lot of the igts, but they're already broken
for the same reasons as userspace on gen12 would be.

v2: Look at ggtt->num_fences instead, that also avoids the need for a
comment (Chris). This also means that gen12 support really needs to
make sure num_fences is set to 0. There is a patch for that, but it
checks for HAS_MAPPABLE_APERTURE, which I'm not sure is the right
thing really. Adding relevant people.


We'd obviously need to make that setting for all gen12+, because TGL does have mappable aperture.

Apart from the tiling ioctl, the only place I see where we set tiling is intel_alloc_initial_plane_obj(), can the users of that object handle the lack of fences gracefully? When I wrote the num_fences=0 patch I was expecting display to be unavailable, so I didn't really look at that part of the code.

It'd also be nice to be more explicit with fencing since we seem to often call i915_vma_pin_iomap, which implicitly applies a fence if needed, on objects that can't be tiled or have had a fence assigned a few lines before. This is more a nice to have tough, possibly together with a split of the "mappable" and "fenceable" attributes of the vma.
