Oops! Thanks for catching this. Here's a new version of that function
(the rest of the patch is the same). This one has explicit conditions
for Ironlake and Sandybridge (when CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU is set), allowing
the Ivybridge and Sandybridge-without-IOMMU cases to take the default
path. This will also cause all future chips to enable rc6 by default.
 
+static bool intel_enable_rc6(struct drm_device *dev)
+{
+	/*
+	 * Respect the kernel parameter if it is set
+	 */
+	if (i915_enable_rc6 >= 0)
+		return i915_enable_rc6;
+
+	/*
+	 * Disable RC6 on Ironlake
+	 */
+	if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen == 5)
+		return 0;
+
+#ifdef CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU
+	/*
+	 * Enable rc6 on Sandybridge if DMA remapping is disabled
+	 */
+	if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen == 6)
+		return no_iommu || dmar_disabled;
+#endif
+	return 1;
+}
