Each of the bits in this reg correspond to a specific agent that may
need to wake the GT.  Unfortunately I don't have docs about which bits
are used by which agents.  IIRC the BIOS uses one as does the AMT
engine if present.

I'll try to find out who owns each and maybe we can reserve our own for
userspace.

Thanks,
