Subject: [PATCH 3.0-rc3, v2] i915: Fix gen6 (SNB) GPU stalling

Workaround Sandy Bridge GPU stalls by allowing the blitter command streamer
to write interrupt state to the Hardware Status Page when a MI_USER_INTERRUPT
command is decoded.

v1->v2: Moved to prior interrupt handler installation and RMW flags as per
feedback.

Eric, if you're happy, please sign-off and send to Dave for inclusion in -rc4
if possible. Further changes may be needed for -stable.
