What I've meant to say is that I want to split up the watermark code
more anyway, so that there's no need to fill in the 0 all over the
place where we don't care one bit. I.e. all the gen4+ platforms.

It's more just to read through the patches for ideas. Atm the branch
doesn't even compile - I'll try to clean it up and beat it into shape
in the next few days. The core idea is to have a minimal wm of 4
(lowest burst setting) and then set the actual burst setting to the
watermark rounded down to the next multiple of 4, up to the
recommended value in Bspec (which is 16 fifo cachelines). But I've
fumbled the job a bit and broke a few things ;-)
