Yes I meant non GuC. :)

Okay..ish, although I think an explicit warn would still be better. 
Because it is one thing to taint and another to actively allow something 
which we know cannot work.

Unless we could hide the CCS engine until GuC gets loaded, which would 
make i915.enable_guc=0 safe. Hm.. should be doable actually to skip 
intel_engine_add_user in the engine init phase and do the CCS ones after 
GuC has been loaded. Would that make sense?
