Ville Syrjälä 7d423af9bf drm/i915: Implement a better i945gm vblank irq vs. C-states workaround
The current "disable C3+" workaround for the delayed vblank
irqs on i945gm no longer works. I'm not sure what changed, but
now I need to also disable C2. I also got my hands on a i915gm
machine that suffers from the same issue.

After some furious poking of registers I managed to find a
better workaround: The "Do not Turn off Core Render Clock in C
states" bit. With that I no longer have to disable any C-states,
and as a nice bonus the power cost is only ~1/4 of the
"disable C3+" method (which mind you doesn't even work anymore,
and so would have an even higher power cost if we made it work
by also disabling C2).

So let's throw out all the cpuidle/qos crap and just toggle
the magic bit as needed. And we extend the workaround to cover
i915gm as well.

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.
