Looks good at a quick read, though I haven't tested it yet.

This doesn't adjust the video sprite plane watermark.  I suppose it
doesn't really matter, since we're not enabling it yet, but for clarity
I'd also mask off WM0_PIPE_SPRITE_MASK.

Also, the cursor watermark is a magic number.  I assume it's derived
from the hardware cursor size.  In which case, it'd be nice to show the
derivation; Ironlake can do hardware cursors up to 256x256, it'd be nice
to have that work automatically when and if we enable that in the
driver.

What are the conditions for entering LP2 or LP3 state, and is it worth
trying to set them up too?

I can only hope this is named "chicken" in allusion to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_(game)

I certainly can't find any reference to it in the documentation.
