In legacy mode, we use the gen6 seqno barrier to insert a delay after
the interrupt before reading the seqno (as the seqno write is not
flushed before the interrupt is sent, the interrupt arrives before the
seqno is visible). Execlists ignored the evidence of igt.
Note that is harder, but not impossible, to reproduce the missed
interrupt syndrome with execlists. This is primarily because execlists
itself being interrupt driven helps mask the issue.
