With execlists it is not. Also BSD2?

Do you have the complete list of shadowed regs available?

NEEDS_FORCE_WAKE() is just reg<40000, so I am inclined to favor that
test first. Do you have a couple of profiles to show how wrong am I?

Note that the first course of action would probably to special case the
hot writes as I915_WRITE_FW.
