We don't expect every machine to be able to pass the WC/GTT coherency
check, see

    drm/i915: Wait for writes through the GTT to land before reading back

    If we quickly switch from writing through the GTT to a read of the
    physical page directly with the CPU (e.g. performing relocations through
    the GTT and then running the command parser), we can observe that the
    writes are not visible to the CPU. It is not a coherency problem, as
    extensive investigations with clflush have demonstrated, but a mere
    timing issue - we have to wait for the GTT to complete it's write before
    we start our read from the CPU.

    The issue can be illustrated in userspace with:

            gtt = gem_mmap__gtt(fd, handle, 0, OBJECT_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE);
            cpu = gem_mmap__cpu(fd, handle, 0, OBJECT_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE);
            gem_set_domain(fd, handle, I915_GEM_DOMAIN_GTT, I915_GEM_DOMAIN_GTT);

            for (i = 0; i < OBJECT_SIZE / 64; i++) {
                    int x = 16*i + (i%16);
                    gtt[x] = i;
                    clflush(&cpu[x], sizeof(cpu[x]));
                    assert(cpu[x] == i);
            }

    Experimenting with that shows that this behaviour is indeed limited to
    recent Atom-class hardware.

so split out the interleave coherency check from the basic
interopability check.
