HAS_FBC(dev_priv) is supposed to be dev_priv->info.has_fbc, which has
the same number of pointer dereferences than
dev_priv->display.enable_fbc. The problem would be if I had used
HAS_FBC(dev).

I also took a look at the __I915__ macro and, although I didn't check
the assembly, it seems the "if" statement is removed by the compiler
since we never compile BUILD_BUG(). If we wanted to be even more sure
we could replace the if statement with nested __builtin_choose_expr()
expressions (I even tried doing that, but it didn't reduce the size of
stripped i915.ko).

This argument argument is valid - although that case doesn't happen -,
but OTOH a check for HAS_FBC makes it very clear to the code reader
what is being excluded, while a check for a function pointer makes the
reader wonder about those cases which you mentioned, and they don't
really exist, so I'm not sure if this is a good thing. So I guess it's
a matter of style preference here.
