Switch to using coherent reads that are serialised with the register

I took the I915_READ_FW() changes + the i915_vma_(un)pin_iomap and I'm still seeing reads of the HW tail register pointing 2 reports behind the last one that actually has its reason & timestamp fields != 0.

That is within a run where at the timestamp register went from 0xa21d5813 to 0xa3b3441a for example.

But the DRM_NOTE("Skipping spurious, invalid OA report\n"); didn't fire once, meaning the reports had their data landing some time after the oa_buffer_check() call.


To me this seems to show there is clearly an issue with the HW and that we need the workaround.
