Joonas Lahtinen b58d4bef10 drm/i915: Disable lazy PPGTT page table optimization for vGPU
When running under virtualization (vGPU active), we must disable
the lazy PPGTT page table initialization optimization introduced by
commit 1482667324 ("drm/i915: Only initialize partially filled
pagetables").

We must do this because GVT-g makes unduly assumptions about guest
behaviour, which this optimization breaks. This results in following
looking errors in the host:

ERROR gvt: guest page write error -22, gfn 0x7ada8, pa 0x7ada89a8, var 0x6, len 1

The real fix is to not to depend on i915 driver behaviour, but instead
either rely on only the contracts that i915 has with the hardware, or
add some paravirtualization. While the real fix is en route, it won't
be finished in time for 4.15, so the best option is to disable the
optimization for now when vGPU is active to avoid breaking 4.15 guests
in existing VM environments.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
