Here's a longer series that does a bunch of cleanup before trying to fix
things. Patches marked with '***' fix bugs. The patch marked with '...'
is the optimization to inline the spinlocks.

The following changes since commit d8e70a254d8f2da141006e496a51502b79115e80:

  drm/i915: only set the intel_crtc DPMS mode to on if the mode set succeeded (2012-01-03 14:55:52 -0800)

      drm/i915: Split register access functions out from display functions

        The forcewake functions are invoked unconditionally on >= gen6
        hardware from the register read/write functions. Having these
        initialized as a side-effect of display initialization seems
        wrong to me. I've moved the functions out of the display
        structure and into a separate structure, and moved the
        initialization to driver load time.

      drm/i915: Access registers through function pointers

        This makes register access go through function pointers,
        following similar changes in many other parts of the driver.

      drm/i915: Split out reg read/write for pre/post gen6 hardware

        Taking advantage of the previous indirection, this actually
        creates separate register read/write functions for pre-gen6 and
        post-gen6 hardware.

      drm/i915: Move forcewake_count to reg_access structure

        Just moves the count into the new structure to keep things
        together.

      drm/i915: hide forcewake_count behind i915_forcewake_count

        Create a function to hide getting the forcewake_count value

      drm/i915: Switch forcewake from atomic to using a spinlock

        This changes the type from atomic to u32 and wraps all users in
        a new spinlock. The spinlock is held across calls to
        ->force_wake_put and ->force_wake_get.

***   drm/i915: Hold forcewake spinlock across reset process

        Changes the reset process to hold the spinlock -- this will
        ensure that all register operations will be correct wrt the
        spinlock, even if the hardware gets reset.

***   drm/i915: Hold forcewake spinlock during register write operations

        This protects the gt_fifo_count value under the spinlock and
        keeps modifications to that tied to the actual register write.

...   drm/i915: inline spin_lock usage in register read macros

        Here's the optimization I mentioned -- inlines the spinlocks
        inside the register read operations.
