[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915/gen6: Flush RING_IMR changes before changing the global GT IMR

[Chris Wilson]

On Baytail, notably, we can still detect missed interrupt syndrome
(where we never spot a completed request). In this case, it can be
alleviated by always keeping the interrupt unmasked, implying that the
interrupt is being lost in the window after modifying the IMR. (This is
the reason we still have the posting reads on enable_irq, if we remove
them we miss interrupts!) Having narrowed the issue down to the IMR,
rather than keeping it always enabled, applying the usual posting
read/flush of the RING_IMR before unmasking the GT IMR also seems to
prevent the missed interrupt. So be it.
