The IPS driver is designed to be able to run detached from i915 and
just not enable GPU turbo in that case, in order to avoid module
dependencies between the two drivers. This means that we don't know
what the load order between the two is going to be, and we had
previously only supported IPS after (optionally) i915, but not i915
after IPS. If the wrong order was chosen, you'd get no GPU turbo, and
something like half the possible graphics performance.
