We should we have all the kinks worked out and full-ppgtt now works reliably on gen7 (Ivybridge, Valleyview/Baytrail and Haswell). If we can let userspace have full control over their own ppgtt, it makes softpinning far more effective, in turn making GPU dispatch far more efficient by virtue of better mm segregation. On the other hand, switching over to a different GTT for every client does incur noticeable overhead, but only for very lightweight tasks.
