If I boot my Broadwell machine to X on a system with Mesa Gallium
llvmpipe instead of i965, then kill X and try to run pm_pc8.c, when we
disable PC8 and call gen6_update_ring_freq(), we will get stuck on an
infinite loop because the frequencies are zero and the variables are
unsigned. This happens because we never ran any batch, so we did not
enable RC6, so the variables are zero. If I run gem_exec_nop before
running pm_pc8, everything works as expected because gem_exec_nop
makes RC6 be enabled.
This commit should prevent the infinite loop, which IMHO is already a
good reason to be merged, but it is not the proper fix to the "RC6 is
not being enabled" problem.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
