everything we know and have tried is there. Which is not much more than

    i915: Fix up ring initialization to cover G45 oddities
    
    G45 appears quite sensitive to ring initialization register writes,
    sometimes leaving the HEAD register with the START register contents. Check
    to make sure HEAD is reset correctly when START is written, and fix it up,
