For i915 and xe parts,

This is nice because it's more localized than the per-file
disable. However, we tried to do this in i915, but this doesn't work for
GCC versions < 8, and some defconfigs enabling -Werror forced us to
revert. See commit 290d16104575 ("Revert "drm/i915: use localized
__diag_ignore_all() instead of per file"").

BR,
Jani.
