[SRU Justification] [Impact] On platforms with UHD panel, massive drawing area updates may cause screen to flash as half-baked render buffers with black areas being renedered. [Fix] This turns out to be the lack of full support to Intel System Agent Geyserville (SAGV), which has been landed to kernel v5.8. The required fix resides in https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/75129/, which seems a rolling set that its early parts have been committed separatedly several times. This patchset also depends on https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/series/72301/, which attempts to make global state handling more standardized. [Test Case] 1. Trigger massive rect updates, e.g. cat a lengthy file in xterm, dump kernel git history, etc. 2. Observe if screen flashes with half black panes, sometimes black stripes, etc. [Regression Potential] Medium. This is to backport a new feature landed to kernel early this year, even there is no later fixes patch found so far, it could still introduce incompatibility to older kernels. So far it behaves on both UHD and other lower resolutions. ========== Original Bug Description ========== On platforms with UHD panel, massive drawing area updates may cause screen to flash as half-baked render buffers with black areas being renedered. [Reproduce Steps] 1. boot to GUI 2. generate massive screen updates by `while true; do dmesg; done` or so [Results] Expected Result: Text output correctly rendered on xterm smoothly Actual Result: Screen flashes with black strides, etc. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27.6 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse:  USER PID ACCESS COMMAND  /dev/snd/controlC0: u 1855 F.... pulseaudio CasperMD5CheckResult: skip DistributionChannelDescriptor:  # This is the distribution channel descriptor for the OEM CDs  # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor  canonical-oem-somerville-focal-amd64-20200502-85+fossa-bulbasaur+X35 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 20.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2020-08-07 (6 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 20.04 "Focal" - Build amd64 LIVE Binary 20200502-05:58 IwConfig:  lo no wireless extensions.  enx00e04c6801fa no wireless extensions.
