This will silently switch from user requested GuC-submission to
execlist-mode which we wanted to stop.

If user don't know what is available on given platform then auto(-1)
mode should be used instead. If user has decided to explicitly specify
invalid enable_guc !0 mode on non-GuC platform why do we want to ignore
that and continue as nothing happened?

If we want to fail then we should at least fail nicer and tell the user
they're trying something that's not possible.


One should see this warning message:

	DRM_WARN("Incompatible option detected: %s=%d, %s!\n",
		 "enable_guc", i915_modparams.enable_guc,
		 !HAS_GUC(i915) ? "no GuC hardware" :
				  "no GuC firmware");

and after we finally fix -EIO support it will be followed by:

	"Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged!\n"
