This patch is pretty big and so a bit hard to review.  A couple of
questions:
  - why not use the callback to __vlv_force_wake_* from
    gen6_gt_force_wake_*?  i.e. why is VLV special here?
  - having a new gen7_media_force_wake function may be better than
    passing an engine around, and would touch fewer pieces of code
  - have you done measurements on this?  given how infrequently we
    ought to be waking the wells when they're idle, and how long we
    generally keep them awake, is this a real power win?

Thanks,
Jesse
