For tgl+, the per-context setting of MI_MODE[12] determines whether the bits of a nested MI_BATCH_BUFFER_START instruction should be interpreted in the traditional manner or whether they should instead use a new tgl+ meaning that breaks backward compatibility, but allows nesting into 3rd-level batchbuffers. For previous platforms, the hardware default for this register bit is to maintain backward-compatible behavior unless a context intentionally opts into the new behavior; however Xe_HPG flips the hardware default behavior. From a SW perspective, we want to maintain the backward-compatible behavior for userspace, so we'll apply a fake workaround to set it back to the legacy behavior on platforms where the hardware default is to break compatibility. At the moment there is no Linux userspace that utilizes third-level batchbuffers, so this will avoid userspace from needing to make any changes. using the legacy meaning is the correct thing to do. If/when we have userspace consumers that want to utilize third-level batch nesting, we can provide a context parameter to allow them to opt-in.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
