Intel i915 PXP (Protected Xe Path) content protection helpers

A subcomponent inside the Intel i915 GPU driver that implements PXP (Protected Xe Path), the GPU-side machinery used to set up protected sessions for hardware-accelerated DRM-protected video playback on Intel integrated graphics. It is not a standalone driver but a helper module bound into i915.

recommendation

This is not a driver directory in its own right; it is an internal piece of the Intel i915 graphics driver that handles protected content sessions. Any keep/remove decision belongs with i915 as a whole rather than with this subdirectory.

codex reasoning notes (technical)

Not a driver directory: this is an internal i915 PXP subcomponent/helper area under the Intel GPU driver, not a standalone kernel-bound hardware driver.
