Right I was looking at an older version of the bxt hpd handler which still
had a FIXME. But we probably still have an issue on bxt/i9xx interrupt
handlers since when we've done the original revert to stop looking at the
hpd live status bits in

    drm/i915: Revert hdmi HDP pin checks

we had reports from both ibx/cpt systems and g4x. And vlv/chv/bxt hpd
seems derived from that (with live status, enable and status all smashed
into one register).

Therefore I guess that we need a similar fix of only carefully clearing
status bits on these platforms too. I have no idea what it is though,
might be good to check how exactly windows is handling hpd on these atom
platfroms.
