Hi

Also, don't we want to init this to true, since the first thing called
seems to be intel_mark_idle?

I get intel_mark_idle called at 6 seconds after booting, then
intel_mark_busy is called only 19 seconds after booting.

I found this while writing the patch to deprecate dev_priv->pc8.gpu_idle :)

Thanks,
Paulo
