I was trying to test the stolen memory patches on SKL with the removed
FLSH_CNTL write. Apparently, the insert_page routine does not seem to be
working. As I was verifying if the stolen-backed object is zeroed out
(using i915_gem_object_clear, which makes use of insert_page) on
creation but it failed (I was getting a garbage value instead of zeros).
And on adding this write it works as expected.

I think this write cannot be removed after all.

Thanks,
