Obviosuly we wouldn't merge that thing upstream. It's just a development
aid.

Actually, zeroing the LP watermark registers mid screen causes ILK to
underrun immediately. There's a comment in the code about it. So
instead of zeroing I just opted to flip the enable bit, which works
fine on ILK.

Ah OK. Well, further analysis will have to wait until I get back from my
summer vacation.
