We don't currently use this in i915 (we probably should), so the impact
here is that we'll just read more DPCD than before. I quickly perused
i915, and this does not appear to directly break anything. I think the
change is probably fine, but at the same time it freaks me out a bit...

If you don't mind, please resend this with Cc:
intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org to have our CI crunch through it across
a number of platforms. Would give me a warm fuzzy feeling. :)

With the caveat that I didn't look at any other drivers besides i915,
