Oh dear, but awesome piece of debugging!

First question: How does this work on vlv with the split forcewake domain?
Any bad side effects like longer ctx switch times?

For added paranoia, shouldn't we keep this one here? Or is the only thing
this does frob the idle notifications like PSMI? I kinda prefer we just
keep it if there's no harmful effects ...

Otherwise lgtm.
