GuC has its own steering mechanism and can't use the default set by i915, so we need to provide the steering information that the FW will need to save/restore registers while processing an engine reset. The GUC interface allows us to do so as part of the register save/restore list and it requires us to specify the steering for all multicast register, even those that would be covered by the default setting for cpu access. Given that we do not distinguish between registers that do not need steering and registers that are guaranteed to work the default steering, we set the steering for all entries in the guc list that do not require a special steering (e.g. mslice) to the default settings; this will cost us a few extra writes during engine reset but allows us to keep the steering logic simple.

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 Restructured Text 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.
