We have established previously we stop using relocations starting from gen12 platforms with Tigerlake as an exception. Unfortunately we need extend transition period and support relocations for two other igfx platforms - Rocketlake and Alderlake.

So the annoying thing here is that now media-driver is fixed:
https://github.com/intel/media-driver/commit/144020c37770083974bedf59902b70b...
Which means igt is really the only thing left.
Dave, is this still ok for an acked exception, or is this now leaning towards "just fix igt"?
Oh that isn't great is it, I had thought it was the media-driver, keeping a big uAPI like this open just for the test code seems a bit silly. I get the tests are testing more than just relocs, but it's a pretty big interface to leave lying around if we can avoid it.
So since we need to do the work anyway for DG1+ what about some interim hack? Currently ADL still has the require_force_probe flag set. We could re-enable relocations just for ADL, only while this flag is set. This gives us a bunch of wiggle room, unblocks everything else (CI is a bit on fire right now due to this and practially unuseable on ADL gem areay) and we'll still make sure that when ADL is all done we wont expose relocations just for igt.
Thoughts?
I can handle that as a compromise, though I'd not want to block ADL getting out of alpha over some IGT that needs porting.
Dave.
