3 wait_for(pipe_dsl_stopped()), please make a function to only have one
expansion of that macro :)

Is there a reason why we couldn't use intel_wait_for_pipe_off() here, it
gives the clearer symmetry to intel_wait_for_pipe_on()?

Other than nitpicks, the code does what it says on the tin, and it's
pretty convincing in its argument,
