The I915_READ/WRITE is not only a mmio read/write, it also contains
debug checking and Forcewake domain lookup. This is too heavy for
GVT ring switch case which access batch of mmio registers on ring
switch. We can handle Forcewake manually and use the raw
i915_read/write instead. The benefit from this is 2x faster mmio
switch performance.

cycles ~550000 ~250000
v2: Use existing I915_READ_FW/I915_WRITE_FW macro. (zhenyu)

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
