In theory, decoupled mmio should require less cycles for single read/write 
operation by avoiding frequent software forcewake. However, it turns out 
this design not to be true on HW reality and not to provide any decoupling 
benefit. It also introduces problems which cause failures in intel-gpu-tools
tests (gem), and also cause driver code and debugging more complex.

The patch set is organized as follows:
 - Patch 1 is to disable decoupled MMIO. This patch can also be backported
   to other shipped kernel as a quick fix.
 - Patch 2 is to totally remove implemented decoupled MMIO code on top of
   Patch 1.
