On Ironlake, there is no command nor register to ensure that the write from a MI_STORE command is completed (and coherent on the CPU) before the command parser continues. This means that the ordering between the seqno write and the subsequent user interrupt is undefined (like gen6+). So to ensure that the seqno write is completed after the final user interrupt we need to delay the read sufficiently to allow the write to complete. This delay is undefined by the bspec, and empirically requires 75us even though a register read combined with a clflush is less than 500ns. Hence, the delay is due to an on-chip buffer rather than the latency of the write to memory. Note that the render ring controls this by filling the PIPE_CONTROL fifo with stalling commands that force the earliest pipe-control with the seqno to be completed before the command parser continues. Given that we need a barrier operation for BSD, we may as well forgo the extra per-batch latency by using a common per-interrupt barrier. Studying the impact of adding the usleep shows that in both sequences of and individual synchronous no-op batches is negligible for the media engine (where the write now is unordered with the interrupt). Converting the render engine over from the current glutton of pie-controls over to the per-interrupt delays speeds up both the sequential and individual synchronous no-ops by 20% and 60%, respectively. This speed up holds even when looking at the throughput of small copies (4KiB->4MiB), both serial and synchronous, by about 20%. This is because despite adding a significant delay to the interrupt, in all likelihood we will see the seqno write without having to apply the barrier (only in the rare corner cases where the write is delayed on the last required is the delay necessary).
