Merge tag 'drm-intel-next-2016-01-24' of git://anongit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel into drm-next

- support for v3 vbt dsi blocks (Jani)
- improve mmio debug checks (Mika Kuoppala)
- reorg the ddi port translation table entries and related code (Ville)
- reorg gen8 interrupt handling for future platforms (Tvrtko)
- refactor tile width/height computations for framebuffers (Ville)
- kerneldoc integration for intel_pm.c (Jani)
- move default context from engines to device-global dev_priv (Dave Gordon)
- make seqno/irq ordering coherent with execlist (Chris)
- decouple internal engine number from UABI (Chris&Tvrtko)
- tons of small fixes all over, as usual

+	 * engine on which it is currently being written (if any).
+	 *
+	 * The low word (bits 0:15) indicate if the object is being written
+	 * to by any engine (there can only be one, as the GEM implicit
+	 * synchronisation rules force writes to be serialised). Only the
+	 * engine for the last write is reported.
+	 *
+	 * The high word (bits 16:31) are a bitmask of which engines are
+	 * currently reading from the object. Multiple engines may be
+	 * reading from the object simultaneously.
+	 *
+	 * The value of each engine is the same as specified in the
+	 * EXECBUFFER2 ioctl, i.e. I915_EXEC_RENDER, I915_EXEC_BSD etc.
+	 * Note I915_EXEC_DEFAULT is a symbolic value and is mapped to
+	 * the I915_EXEC_RENDER engine for execution, and so it is never
+	 * reported as active itself. Some hardware may have parallel
+	 * execution engines, e.g. multiple media engines, which are
+	 * mapped to the same identifier in the EXECBUFFER2 ioctl and
+	 * so are not separately reported for busyness.
