Thanks. I applied the first 2 patches to drm-intel-next.

The rest can't be applied as there are conflicts between drm-intel-next
and drm-intel-gt-next. I should have merged the rename to
drm-intel-gt-next since the guc patches need to be applied there.
I guess the rest will have to wait some tree propagation.
