The missing static and lack of extern declaration. I know sparse catches
it, I guess for K&R the order is just right for it not to complain.

For consistency, yeah it would be nice to keep for_each_engine. We should
be ok to do the clear around i915_driver_init_mmio (it's mmio, it has to
be there ;), maybe worth pulling it into intel_engines_init_mmio() or
i915_gem_init_mmio(). I'm learning towards sanitization from within
intel_engines_init_mmio()
