There is no future for i915. That's the point. The only platforms that 
have the hardware fix are all ones that will only ever be supported by 
the Xe driver. So if such a platform were to be backported to i915 then 
there would be a lot more work than just adding a new GuC firmware platform.

And going backwards, the bug affects all platforms that have a GuC. So 
if any GuC code is being executed at all, then this w/a is applicable.

Such as this?
         /*

          * don't bother testing for all X/Y/Z platforms explicitly.
