i915_gem_init() should be fine as far as the display is concerned
at least, albeit a bit unexpected. Do we need to do that already in
this patch, or a followup?

The original problem was that this guy turned off the LP1+ watermarks
after we'd already done the state readout in ilk_wm_get_hw_state(). So
the state we had read out no longer matched the hardware state.

To keep the software and hardware states in sync we just need to make
sure ilk_init_lp_watermarks() is called before the readout. And the
obvious thing to do then is to call it immediately before to the
readout.
