We mask the interrupt in IMR when we don't need it, but we do leave it
enabled in IER. Is that a problem on HSW? I'm guessing not, since
powertop is telling me that I'm currently reaching pc8 w/ displays off,
and pc7 w/ eDP on.

In any case the patch would be buggy since it has no locking around
DEIER RMW accesses. But since powertop is telling me everything is
already fine, we shouldn't need this patch anyway.
