Is it perhaps a way to enable L3_DPF on IVB and HSW when breadcrumbs are 
off (no one listening)? Mind you, the same should be done in this case 
under execlists for ctx switch irq. I just can't find the code there 
which unmasks it unless a single engine->irq_enable/irq_disable cycle is 
guaranteed on load indirectly. Is there a request_wait or wait_for_idle 
hidden somewhere during init? Or I missed the ball completely?
