Setting this for inactive crtcs breaks the code, which I've learned the
hard way ;-) The issue is that on ivb/hsw we can _only_ enable the err
interrupt if all crtcs allow it. But if some disabled crtc disallows it
that condition is never true until userspace has lit up all for crtcs at
least once. I've tried to capture this in the commit message, but seem to
have failed. Can you please suggest a rewording to clarify things?

At worst the interrupt handler runs concurrently (on platforms where we
don't yet hide fifo underruns from the start), also setting this to false
in the case of an underrun. What about:

"No protection against concurrent access is required - at wors a fifo
underrun happens which also sets this to false."

Thanks, Daniel
