I started to consider what would happen if i915.enable_ppgtt changed on
the fly, but then saw that it is 0400 and this pre-initialisation makes
a lot of sense. So maybe we could mention that here:

As the i915.enable_ppgtt is read-only it cannot be changed after the
module is loaded and so we can perform an early sanitization of the
values.
