Include a comment with the WA name?

Also this WA seems to be present since SNB. So should the check be for
'gen>=6' instead of VLV? Hmm. It seems that used to be the case actually
and then the WA was removed in commit:

    drm/i915: Remove the MI_FLUSH_ENABLE setting.
    
    We have always been using the wrong bit -- it's bit 12.  However, the
    bit also doesn't do anything -- hardware has always accepted the
    MI_FLUSH command even when it was specced not to.
    
    Given that there is only one MI_FLUSH emitted in all of the driver
    stack on gen6+ (in i965_video.c of the 2d driver, and it should be
    using other code to do its flush instead), just remove the MI_FLUSH
    enable instead of trying to fix it.

Looks like the wrong bit part was fixed at some point.

This patch needs to be refreshed anyway since the code was shuffled
around a bit.
