There is no e->i915 yet as far as I can see.

I have a patch to do:

- dev->dev_private
+ to_i915(dev)

But that is huge and to little gain.

Maybe we should have:

to_i915(req)
to_i915(engine)
to_i915(dev)

And a smart macro which does the right thing at compile time?

That way churn would be one time only and the magic happens in the macro 
definition, as shortcuts are added or (re)moved.
