Is anyone interested in this story noticing my open? I will repeat:

How about we add i915_clflush_virt_range as static inline and by doing 
so avoid adding function calls to code paths which are impossible on Arm 
builds? Case in point relocations, probably execlists backend as well.

Downside would be effectively duplicating drm_clfush_virt_range code. 
But for me, (Also considering no other driver calls it so why it is 
there? Should it be deleted?), that would be okay.
