It turns out that on production DG2/ATS HW we should have support for
PS64. This feature allows to provide a 64K TLB hint at the PTE level,
which is a lot more flexible than the current method of enabling 64K GTT
pages for the entire page-table, since that leads to all kinds of
annoying restrictions, as documented in:

drm/i915/uapi: document behaviour for DG2 64K support
On discrete platforms like DG2, we need to support a minimum page size
of 64K when dealing with device local-memory. This is quite tricky for
various reasons, so try to document the new implicit uapi for this.
With PS64, we can now drop the 2M GTT alignment restriction, and instead
only require 64K or larger when dealing with lmem. We still use the
compact-pt layout when possible, but only when we are certain that this
doesn't interfere with userspace.
Note that this is a change in uAPI behaviour, but hopefully shouldn't be
a concern (IGT is at least able to autodetect the alignment), since we
are only making the GTT alignment constraint less restrictive.
Based on a patch from CQ Tang.
v2: update the comment wrt scratch page
v3: (Nirmoy)
- Fix the selftest to actually use the random size, plus some comment
improvements, also drop the rem stuff.
