EHL and JSL add the 'Bypass LLC' MOCS entry, which should make it possible for userspace to bypass the GTT caching bits set by the kernel, as per the given object cache_level. This is troublesome since the heavy flush we apply when first acquiring the pages is skipped if the kernel thinks the object is coherent with the GPU. As a result it might be possible to bypass the cache and read the contents of the page directly, which could be stale data. If it's just a case of userspace shooting themselves in the foot then so be it, but since i915 takes the stance of always zeroing memory before handing it to userspace, we need to prevent this.
v2: this time actually set cache_dirty in put_pages() v3: move to get_pages() which looks simpler
