Yeah, but it was basically shot down by Tvrtko [1], and I stalled there.

I'd just like to get all this cruft out of i915_drv.h. Whenever we have
a file where the name isn't super specific, we seem to have a tendency
of turning it into a dumping ground for random crap. So I'd really like
to move this out of there *before* expanding on it. 

BR,
Jani.
