Jason Ekstrand fe4751c3d5 drm/i915: Drop I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_RINGSIZE 
This reverts commit 88be76cdaf ("drm/i915: Allow userspace to specify
ringsize on construction").  This API was originally added for OpenCL
but the compute-runtime PR has sat open for a year without action so we
can still pull it out if we want.  I argue we should drop it for three
reasons:

 1. If the compute-runtime PR has sat open for a year, this clearly
    isn't that important.

 2. It's a very leaky API.  Ring size is an implementation detail of the
    current execlist scheduler and really only makes sense there.  It
    can't apply to the older ring-buffer scheduler on pre-execlist
    hardware because that's shared across all contexts and it won't
    apply to the GuC scheduler that's in the pipeline.

 3. Having userspace set a ring size in bytes is a bad solution to the
    problem of having too small a ring.  There is no way that userspace
    has the information to know how to properly set the ring size so
    it's just going to detect the feature and always set it to the
    maximum of 512K.  This is what the compute-runtime PR does.  The
    scheduler in i915, on the other hand, does have the information to
    make an informed choice.  It could detect if the ring size is a
    problem and grow it itself.  Or, if that's too hard, we could just
    increase the default size from 16K to 32K or even 64K instead of
    relying on userspace to do it.

Let's drop this API for now and, if someone decides they really care
about solving this problem, they can do it properly.

README 

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.
