Why did you move this out of the enable_rc6 functions? It seems to fit
much better there, instead of here.

Also I think we shouldn't change the module option, instead it's
conceptually cleaner to just not set up rc6 in genX_enable_rc6, i.e.

	if (!check_bios_rc6_setup())
		return;

somewhere at the beginning of gen9_enable_rc6 like you had in the previous
patch.
