[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/bdw: The TLB invalidation mechanism has been removed from INSTPM

[Damien Lespiau]

While wandering in the spec, I noticed that BDW removes those 2 bits
from INSTPM. I couldn't find any direct way to invalidate the TLB (ie
without the ring working already). Maybe someone will be more lucky.

At least, we now know we may be a problem.
