Li Peng ee980b8003 drm/i915: enable memory self refresh on 9xx
Enabling memory self refresh (SR) on 9xx needs to set additional
register bits. On 945, we need bit 31 of FW_BLC_SELF to enable the
write to self refresh bit and bit 16 to enable the write of self
refresh watermark. On 915, bit 12 of INSTPM is used to enable SR.

SR will take effect when CPU enters C3+ state and its entry/exit
should be automatically controlled by H/W, driver only needs to set
SR enable bits in wm update. But this isn't safe in my test on 945
because GPU is hung. So this patch explicitly enables SR when GPU
is idle, and disables SR when it is busy. In my test on a netbook of
945GSE chipset, it saves about 0.8W idle power.

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.
