drm/i915: apply WaEnableVGAAccessThroughIOPort as needed
Currently as the workaround is applied the screen flickers. As a result we do not achieve seamless boot experience. Avoiding the issue in the common use-case might be hard, although we can resolve it for dual GPU setups - when the "other" GPU is primary and/or outputs are connected to it. With this I was able to get seamless experience on my Intel/Nvidia box, running systemd-boot and sddm/Xorg. Note that the i915 driver is within initrd while the Nvidia one is not. Without this patch, the splash presented by systemd-boot (UEFI BGRT) is torn down as the code-path kicks in, leaving the monitor blank until the login manager starts. Same issue were reported with plymouth/grub, although personally I wasn't able to get them to behave on my setup.
