Seems right.  I guess that would be... what?  Is it:
A. Platform specific?  I.E. we need s generation check in the selftest to proceed, such as the following:

                 if (expected_gtt & I915_GTT_PAGE_SIZE_4K && GRAPHICS_VER(i915) >= 12)

B. Systems specific?  I.E. we have a special check for this functionality such as:

                 if (expected_gtt & I915_GTT_PAGE_SIZE_4K && has_pte_level_hint(i915))

C. The new norm.  I.E. we can just remove this line from the test and everything will work out fine.
