drm/i915: Mark uneven memory banks on gen4 desktop as unknown swizzling
We have varied reports of swizzling corruption on gen4 desktop, and
confirmation that one at least is triggered by uneven memory banks
(L-shaped memory). The implication is that the swizzling varies between
the paired channels and the remainder of memory on the single channel. As
the object then has unpredictable swizzling (it will vary depending on
exact page allocation and may even change during the object's lifetime as
the pages are replaced), we have to report to userspace that the swizzling
is unknown.
However, some existing userspace is buggy when it meets an unknown
swizzling configuration and so we need to tell another white lie and
mark the swizzling as NONE but report it as UNKNOWN through the extended
get-tiling-ioctl. See

drm/i915: Declare the swizzling unknown for L-shaped configurations
for the previous example where we found that telling the truth to
userspace just ends up in a world of hurt.
Also since we don't truly know what the swizzling is on the pages, we
need to keep them pinned to prevent swapping as the reports also
suggest that some gen4 devices have previously undetected bit17
swizzling.
v2: Combine unknown + quirk patches to prevent userspace ever seeing
unknown swizzling through the normal get-tiling-ioctl. Also use the same
path for the existing uneven bank detection for mobile gen4.
