AFAIK except for the chicken bits used to enable L3 atomics on HSW
(which is tested explicitly elsewhere, see PATCH 07), all other
registers written to are whitelisted since command parser revision 1 --
I don't think that any released kernel version had the command parser
enabled on Gen7 but any of the required registers blacklisted.
