drm/i915: Remove the per-ring write list
the explicit flush was removed from i915_ring_idle(). However, we
continued to wait upon the next seqno which now did not correspond to
any request (except for the unusual condition of a failure to queue a
request after execbuffer) and so would wait indefinitely.
This has an important side-effect that i915_gpu_idle() does not cause
the seqno to be incremented. This is vital if we are to be able to idle
the GPU to handle seqno wraparound, as in subsequent patches.

************************************************************
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:
