We get tons of cases where the master interrupt handler apparently set a bit, with the SDEIIR disagreeing. No idea what's going on there, but it's consistent on gen8+, no one seems to care about it and it's making CI results flaky. Shut it up. No idea what's going on here, but we've had fun with PCH interrupts before: commit 44498aea293b37af1d463acd9658cdce1ecdf427 Author: Paulo Zanoni <paulo.r.zanoni@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Feb 22 17:05:28 2013 -0300 drm/i915: also disable south interrupts when handling them Note that there's a regression report in Bugzilla, and other regression reports on the mailing lists keep croping up. But no ill effects have ever been reported. But for paranoia still keep the message at a debug level as a breadcrumb, just in case.
