Subject: [PATCH v2 7/8] drm/i915/ttm: trust snooping when gen 6+ when deciding default cache_level

By default i915_ttm_cache_level() decides I915_CACHE_LLC if HAS_SNOOP.
this is divergent from existing backends code which only considers
HAS_LLC.
Testing shows that trusting snooping on gen5- is unreliable, so limit to
gen6+
