A quick discussion on #intel-gfx seems to indicate it was used for
bug triaging in the past year. So that would indicate it is still
useful to include.
So let's not remove it.

I started a discussion in the thread of the original patch which called
to move code but left the old code in place too, effectively copying it.
When this path was written and such code duplication noticed, would have
been good to highlight or address the code duplication.
