We should use PFP whenever possible for all packets.Can all this be explained with more words ? What are the choice ? What are the difference ? What we gain ?
The PFP is responsible of fetching the data the CP executes from memory, classify them and if necessary forward them to the ME. The ME is the part where normally all the juicy stuff happens, e.g. register writes, most type3 packet execution etc...
What we did before was setting the VM base address with the ME instead of the PFP, but since the PFP needs to fetch the IB data we inserted an "Wait for ME" packet into the command stream to let the ME catch up to the PFP before proceeding.
The problem is that this is sometimes not enough, e.g. on CIK it could happen that the IB read goes out while the the page table base address wasn't updated yet with the obviously bad consequences.
Compute rings don't have a PFP on CIK so this won't work there.
