[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 2/3] drm/i915: Default to mmio flips on VLV

[sourab.gupta at intel.com]

From: Sourab Gupta <sourab.gupta at intel.com>

This patch is for using mmio flips by default on VLV.
The module parameter controlling use of MMIO flips allows us to
control the default behaviour, which is set true for VLV and false
elsewhere.
