Linus has been pretty clear that he won't accept patches that add macros 
that works on one arch and warns on others anymore in i915 and I figure 
even less so in drm code.

So we shouldn't try to move this out to drm. Instead we should restrict 
the wbinvd() inside our driver to integrated and X86 only. For discrete 
on all architectures we should be coherent and hence not be needing 
wbinvd().

Thanks,
