If you are asking why I have proposed this patchset, then the answer is 
simple, 1st I've tried to find a way to move internal i915 helper to 
core (see patch 7).
Then I was looking for possible other users of this helper. And 
apparently there are many of them, patches 3-7 shows some.

If you could take it I will be happy.
