    link/graphics: New state machine
    
    This is a new state machine. It is more programmatic, in the
    case of auxio, and has much more symbolic naming, and very few
    "magic" numbers, except in the case of undocumented settings.
    
    As before, the 'pre-computed' IO ops are encoded in the iodefs
    table. A function, run, is passed and index into the table and
    runs the ops.
    
    A new operator, I, has been added. When the I operator is hit,
    run() returns the index of the next operator in the table.
    
    The i915lightup function runs the table. All the AUX channel ops
    have been removed from the table, however, and are now called as
    functions, using the previously committed auxio function.
    
    The iodefs table has been grouped into blocks of ops, which end in
    an I operator. As the lightup function progresses through startup,
    and the run() returns, the lightup function performs aux channel
    operations.
    
    This code is symbolic enough, I hope, that it will make haswell
    graphics bringup simpler.
    
    i915io.c, and the core of the code in i915lightup.c, were
    programatically generated, starting with IO logs from the DRM
    startup code in the kernel. It is possible to apply the tools that
    do this generation to newer IO logs from the kernel.
