This looks incomplete. Seems like you should have LRIs around this
guy to enable/disable the L3SQCREG4 coherent line flush bit.

And chv shouldn't do coherent L3, so this might not be needed there.

Also do we need a CS stall here too?
"DC Flush Enable 5 Requires stall bit ([20] of DW) set for all GPGPU and Media Workloads."

Supposedly we should add the DC flush to the normal ring flush hooks
too. But that's a separate issue.
