We currently disable the ERR_INT interrupts while running the IRQ
handler because we fear that if we do an unclaimed register access
from inside the IRQ handler we'll keep triggering the IRQ handler
forever.
The problem is that since we always disable the ERR_INT interrupts at
the IRQ handler, when we get a FIFO underrun we'll always print both
messages:
- "uncleared fifo underrun on pipe A"
- "Pipe A FIFO underrun"
Because the "was_enabled" variable from
ivybridge_set_fifo_underrun_reporting will always be false (since we
disable ERR int at the IRQ handler!).
Instead of actually fixing ivybridge_set_fifo_underrun_reporting,
let's just remove the "disable ERR_INT during the IRQ handler" code.
As far as we know we shouldn't really be triggering ERR_INT interrupts
from the IRQ handler, so if we ever get stuck in the endless loop of
interrupts we can git-bisect and revert (and we can even bisect and
revert this patch in case I'm just wrong). As a bonus, our IRQ handler
is now simpler and a few nanoseconds faster.

************************************************************
The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
