Probably a good plan, but of course that's separate from turning on the
hotplug hardware in the PCH. Something like:

diff --git a/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_irq.c b/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_irq.c

I was amused to learn that the BIOS on my machine actually turns on the
hotplug hardware for no good reason, so things 'worked' without this
code on many machines. I wonder how many DP/DVI/HDMI machines aren't
actually doing hotplug today...
