We do have the sysfs interface:
echo 0 > /sys/module/i915/parameters/enable_ips

I think we should have consistency between both source and sink CRCs.
So if we decide to go for the sysfs solution we need to revert the
"disable IPS while getting the source CRCs" patch and then fix IGT so
it always disables IPS for all CRC tests.

I prefer the Kernel solution since IMHO it is much simpler and makes
sure IGT is always correct, but if we decide to go for the sysfs
solution I can write the patches. I guess a third (and fourth and
fifth) opinion from someone else here would help. Anybody?
