[PATCH] drm: Add DRM_NOTICE_IF

[PATCH] drm: Add DRM_NOTICE_IF

[Chris Wilson]

Styled after WARN_ON/DRM_ERROR_ON, this prints a mild warning message (a
KERN_NOTICE for significant but mild events) that allows us to insert
interesting events without alarming the user or bug reporting tools.

For an example I have changed a DRM_ERROR for being unable to set a
performance enhancement in i915.

Wouldn't it be better to opt for DRM_NOTICE_ON to be consistent with the
other two ? It sounds fine here, although I am a non-native English
speaker, so take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks
