2ms?! Shudder..

#define done \
({ \
	ENGINE_WRITE_FW(engine, RING_HEAD, ring->head); \
	ENGINE_READ_FW(engine, RING_HEAD) == ring->head; \
})
_wait_for_atomic(done, 2 * USEC_PER_MSEC, needs_to_be_atomic_or_not?);
#undef done

Should work and avoid the need to add yet another helper, please 
double-check. Not as pretty, but accumulating generic sounding helpers 
in i915_utils.h is a bit frowned upon.
