Interesting :), I have at some point floated a similar patch and there 
was overwhelming dislike of the GT suffix, since we have GT2 GT3 etc.. 
as established acronyms for GPU configurations.

Furthermore, I am pretty sure I've done it using the gen bitmask so 
hypothetical checks like IS_GEN_LT(5) || IS_GEN_RANGE(8, 9) could still 
be compile time optimized to a single conditional. That would also now 
become more difficult due removal of GEN_FOREVER.

To summarise, I don't see a advantage of hiding this in macros if we are 
not getting the above benefit.

Regards,
