Tvrtko Ursulin 23dd74db02 drm/i915: Enable THP on Icelake and beyond
We have a statement from HW designers that the GPU read regression when
using 2M pages was fixed from Icelake onwards, which was also confirmed
by bencharking Eero did last year:

"""
When IOMMU is disabled, enabling THP causes following perf changes on
TGL-H (GT1):

    10-15% SynMark Batch[0-3]
    5-10% MemBW GPU texture, SynMark ShMapVsm
    3-5% SynMark TerrainFly* + Geom* + Fill* + CSCloth + Batch4
    1-3% GpuTest Triangle, SynMark TexMem* + DeferredAA + Batch[5-7]
          + few others
    -7% MemBW GPU blend

In the above 3D benchmark names, * means all the variants of tests with
the same prefix. For example "SynMark TexMem*", means both TexMem128 &
TexMem512 tests in the synthetic (Intel internal) SynMark test suite.

In the (public, but proprietary) GfxBench & GLB(enchmark) test suites,
there are both onscreen and offscreen variants of each test. Unless
explicitly stated otherwise, numbers are for both variants.

All tests are run with FullHD monitor. All tests are fullscreen except
for GLB and GpuTest ones, which are run in 1/2 screen window (GpuTest
triangle is run both in fullscreen and 1/2 screen window).
"""

Since the only regression is MemBW GPU blend, against many more gains,
it sounds it is time to enable THP on Gen11+.

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.
