I'm definitely leaning the other way: Before we take out the sw tracking
for some platforms I want the full psr validation to be done (since
otherwise no one will do it again and for skl+1 we have the same hilarious
saga again). And if we figure out that the hw tracking has indeed become
better and is now useful, then we can do the same thing like Paulo's fbc
patches and ignore some sw invalidate events selectively. But only when
the tests are solid, we're sure we have full coverage and that the hw
really works for that use-case.
