I believe some/all of these writes need to be guarded by if (has_lpac),
as many GPUs lack these registers and there may be side effects on
others

Should we rename nr_rings to something like nr_XXX_rings
where XXX is some uarch-generic (i.e. not SQE because we also
support pre-a6xx) name for the main number cruncher?
