Another idea: there is a drm_notice in Patch 2 when C6 is disabled, maybe
we could just change it to "C6 disabled by BIOS, OAM availbable\n" or
something like that and just remove the notice from here. I think we should
avoid the notice when C6 is enabled since that is likely to be the default
mode.
