Ok, I've merged all the patches here except the dvo 2x mode thing. And imo
we can also pull in the burst size hack since imo that's what we want -
afaik the hw has some bits to select the burst size between 4, 8, ...
entries, and atm we always set it to 8. And Bspec explicitly says that
setting the fifo to something smaller than burst size will lead to tears.

So the patch with a pimped commit message + bit a better comment is good
to go. Originally I wanted to implement "proper" burst size selection, but
that ran afoul of the general gen2/3 wm mess.

Aside: We might want to give intel_calculate_wm some i9xx prefix, since
it's very much not generic.

Thanks, Daniel
