Some of the registers are needed by Ironlake GFX driver which we probably can remove. I did a trace recently on Broadwell, the number of register accessed are even smaller (0, 2, 2c, 2e, 50, 52, a0, a4). Given that we now have integrated MCH and GPU in the same socket, looks like driver can easily remove reads for offsets 0 - 0x2e.

I totally forgot. Feel free to fix that.

Uh? Your patch was checking for 0:1f.0, not the slot of the device.
(see https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/19/121)

Didn't we discuss that we did not want to pass in PCH at all if we can?
And from the observation I made above it seems that we can safely do it
under Linux. With Windows I don't know - but I presume the answer is yes too.

Yes. The observation is that a lot of these registers are aliased in the GPU.
As such we can skip some of this bridge poking. Hm. I should have gotten
further and also done this on baremetal, but figured as an RFC it would
paint a picture of what we had in mind?
