Well, since we have it here, there is something I wanted to ask about this:

MODULE_PARM_DESC(use_mmio_flip, "use MMIO flips (-1=never, 0=driver discretion [default], 1=always)"); 

The "driver discretion" option will blow up with Execlists :(
How do I tackle this? an execlists version of intel_gen7_queue_flip? sanitizing use_mmio_flip when execlists get enabled? I really don´t have a preference...
