[PATCH] drm/i915: stop using GMBUS IRQs on Gen4 chips (was Re: [3.9-rc1] irq 16: nobody cared (was [3.9-rc1] very poor interrupt responses))

Okay, so I think that for 3.9 we want the patch below, and if eventually 
hardware root cause / workaround is found for GM45, we can have it merged 
later.

Subject: [PATCH] drm/i915: stop using GMBUS IRQs on Gen4 chips

Commit 28c70f162 ("drm/i915: use the gmbus irq for waits") switched to
using GMBUS irqs instead of GPIO bit-banging for chipset generations 4
and above.

It turns out though that on many systems this leads to spurious interrupts
being generated, long after the register write to disable the IRQs has been
issued.

Flushing of the register writes by POSTING_READ() directly after the register
write doesn't work either.

Disable using of GMBUS IRQs on Gen4 systems before the root cause is found and
revert back to old behavior.

Also be more careful about not issuing GMBUS4 register reads in 
gmbus_wait_hw_status() if we are not using GMBUS IRQs.
