Oh right. Somehow I remembered that it was universal. But now that
re-think things PIPESTAT doesn't even have an enable bit for underruns.
So I guess an underrun won't itself generate an interrupt on gmch
platforms, but instead you need some other interrupt to fire to detect
it. That means we should just have some flag/bool to shut up the debug
message and the rest of the code is fine as is.
