Can you please add the bugzilla link here?

Please keep the unconditional use of mt forcewake for haswell, afaik we
don't have any reports that there are still broken BIOS out there.

This needs a DRM_INFO warning if MT forcewake is not available telling the
user telling the user that this might result in hangs with recent DDX
version, e.g.: "No MT forcewake available on Ivybridge, this can result in
issues when using vblank-synced partial screen updates."
