As long as there's still a way to disable the one-shot thing (either
by passing i915.mmio_debug=1000 or by i915.mmio_debug_once=0), this
idea/patch and the other WARN_ONCE patch are: Acked-by: Paulo Zanoni
<paulo.r.zanoni@xxxxxxxxx>. I see there's still some discussion, so
I'm not sure which one will be the final patch...

Most of the cases I investigated didn't cause enough WARNs to make
dmesg useless, so I still see utility on having a way to print more
than the first error. Bonus points if the default option is set to
something like "print only the first 20 errors" :)
