drm/i915: Implement a better i945gm vblank irq vs. C-states workaround
The current "disable C3+" workaround for the delayed vblank irqs on i945gm no longer works. I'm not sure what changed, but now I need to also disable C2. I also got my hands on a i915gm machine that suffers from the same issue. After some furious poking of registers I managed to find a better workaround: The "Do not Turn off Core Render Clock in C states" bit. With that I no longer have to disable any C-states, and as a nice bonus the power cost is only ~1/4 of the "disable C3+" method (which mind you doesn't even work anymore, and so would have an even higher power cost if we made it work by also disabling C2). So let's throw out all the cpuidle/qos crap and just toggle the magic bit as needed. And we extend the workaround to cover i915gm as well.
