Hmm. I think I may have submitted the wrong patch here since I was
pretty certain Chris had caught this before. Anyway, thanks.

Yep, I meant to change to 3, thanks. Double on the, maybe this was the
wrong patch.

I'll never say "ever." Currently however it is unexpected. I suppose it
would be nicer to hit the WARN sooner in the init path, but I'm not sure
how offended you are by this. The code is still slightly muddy with
regards to rings on the HW vs. enabled rings - but it's a separate issue
which is slowly getting better.

In either case, there is a bug here because for_each_ring will be >
num_rings on SNB and IVB.

I prefer that. Not sure why I didn't do it in the first place.
