[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 6/8] drm/i915: Disable power management for i915 driver in VM

From: Yu Zhang <yu.c.zhang at intel.com>

In XenGT, GPU power management is controlled by host i915
driver, so there is no need to provide virtualized GPU PM
support. In the future it might be useful to gather VM
input for freq boost, but now let's disable it simply.
