Oh I forgot the most important thing here: how many f*cking places do
we need to add PCI IDs??!!

I'd really really like to see i915_reg.h shared to libdrm and used
directly by intel-gpu-tools and Mesa if at all possible, whether we
split it or not.  The IS_* and HAS_* macros should be in there as well,
with the PCI IDs, then we can just add this stuff in one place...
