Right, I noticed this comment in intel_gt_sysfs_register() once I fully
saw what was going on:

	/*
	 * We need to make things right with the
	 * ABI compatibility. The files were originally
	 * generated under the parent directory.
	 *
	 * We generate the files only for gt 0
	 * to avoid duplicates.
	 */

Makes it seem like there will be userspace breakage if these files do
not exist? I figured this was the cleanest solution within those
parameters.
