Static?  With that,

I agree that i915_pci feels like the wrong place to put this but I
don't think that's so much because globals don't belong in i915_pci
but because i915_init/exit don't belong there.  Maybe, once this is
all said and done (or at the start of the series), we should move
i915_init/exit to i915_drv.c?  Of course, there's a bunch of PCI
probing stuff in i915_drv.c so..... yeah.... our organization is
pretty busted.
