Either way would work I think.  I just wanted to call out in the patch
that any access to SDMA or GFX MMIO needs to be done while gfxoff is
disallowed (via ring begin_use in this case), otherwise, you will hang
if gfx is in the off state.  If you want to go with disabling the
doorbell, we should double check that there are not any other places
where we access MMIO registers directly in the !doorbell case.  I
don't think there are, but I didn't look too closely.
