drm/i915: Extend the parser to check register writes against a mask/value pair.
In some cases it might be unnecessary or dangerous to give userspace the right to write arbitrary values to some register, even though it might be desirable to give it control of some of its bits. This patch extends the register whitelist entries to contain a mask/value pair in addition to the register offset. For registers with non-zero mask, any LRM writes and LRI writes where the bits of the immediate given by the mask don't match the specified value will be rejected. This will be used in my next patch to grant userspace partial write access to some sensitive registers.
