[Intel-gfx] [PATCH v2 37/39] drm/i915: document struct drm_i915_gem_object

[Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org>]

This is a large struct used to describe gem objects. It is
currently partially documented. Finish its documentation, filling
the gaps from git logs.

Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@kernel.org>

To avoid mailbombing on a large number of people, only mailing lists were C/C on the cover.

+	 *	Note that this might be before the blitter is usable, which
+	 *	is the case for some internal GuC objects.
+	 * %I915_BO_ALLOC_USER:
+	 *	Make sure the object is cleared before any user access.
+	 * %I915_BO_ALLOC_PM_VOLATILE:
+	 *	Object is allowed to lose its contents on suspend / resume,
+	 *	even if pinned
+	 * %I915_BO_ALLOC_PM_EARLY:
+	 *	Object needs to be restored early using memcpy during resume
+	 * %I915_BO_ALLOC_GPU_ONLY:
+	 *	Object is likely never accessed by the CPU. This will
+	 *	prioritise the BO to be allocated in the non-mappable portion
+	 *	of lmem. This is merely a hint, and if dealing with userspace
+	 *	objects the CPU fault handler is free to ignore this.

+	 * %I915_BO_PROTECTED:
+	 *	User has created protected. All protected objects and
+	 *	contexts will be considered invalid when the PXP session
+	 *	is destroyed and all new submissions using them will be
+	 *	rejected. All intel contexts within the invalidated gem
