I'm not sure; it looks like among other things we send this bitmask
directly to the GuC, so I'm not really comfortable making the assumption
that all users of the mask will pay attention to whether the engine is
fused off or not, even if that turns out to be true for the i915 usage.
I could switch this to being initialized statically and then modified
here if an engine is fused off. In that case should this move out of
RUNTIME_INFO() and back to INTEL_INFO()? Honestly I've never really
understood why we have those separated given that we still ignore the
const and modify INTEL_INFO at runtime in several places.
