Make this the default on xe2+ when doing a copy. This has a few
advantages over the exiting copy instruction:
1) It has a special PAGE_COPY mode that claims to be optimised for
page-in/page-out, which is the vast majority of current users.
2) It also has a simple BYTE_COPY mode that supports byte granularity
copying without any restrictions.
With 2) we can now easily skip the bounce buffer flow when copying
buffers with strange sizing/alignment, like for memory_access. But that
is left for the next patch.
v2 (Matt Brost):
- Use device info to check whether device should use the MEM_COPY
path. This should fit better with making this a configfs tunable.
- And with that also keep old path still functional on xe2 for possible
experimentation.
- Add a define for PAGE_COPY page-size.
v3 (Matt Brost):
- Fallback to an actual linear copy for pitch=1.
- Also update NVL.

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 reStructuredText 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.
