[Intel-gfx] [PATCH 4/5] drm/i915: Only set gem object L3 cache level for IVB devices

[Wayne Boyer]

Do some further clean up based on the initial review of
drm/i915: Separate cherryview from valleyview.

In this case, in i915_gem_alloc_context_obj() only call
i915_gem_object_set_cache_level() for Ivy Bridge devices
since later platforms don't have L3 control bits in the PTE.

v2: Expand comment to mention snooping requirement. (Ville, Imre)
