but were them also non-masked?

yeah, we've had the same concern when doing similar fix in i915. From
all of the options, I think the one doing MI_MATH for the very few
registers in the category [ non-masked, can't-be-read-from-cpu ] would
be appropriate.  I  can take a look on doing that later, but I think
it's more urgent to fix the outstanding issue we have right now of
basically not really applying most of the LRC WAs.
