Motivation to add these complications into i915 are not clear to me 
here. I mean there is no HuC on DG2 _yet_ is the premise of the series, 
right? So no backwards compatibility concerns. In this case why jump 
through the hoops and not let userspace handle all of this by just 
leaving the getparam return the true status?
