+/**
+ * DOC: fifo underrun handling
+ *
+ * The i915 driver checks for display fifo underruns using the interrupt signals
+ * provided by the hardware. This is enabled by default and fairly useful to
+ * debug display issues, especially watermark settings.
+ *
+ * If an underrun is detected this is logged into dmesg. To avoid flooding logs
+ * and occupying the cpu underrun interrupts are disabled after the first
+ * occurrence until the next modeset on a given pipe.
+ *
+ * Note that underrun detection on gmch platforms is a bit more ugly since there
+ * is no interrupt (despite that the signalling bit is in the PIPESTAT pipe
+ * interrupt register). Also on some other platforms underrun interrupts are
+ * shared, which means that if we detect an underrun we need to disable underrun
+ * reporting on all pipes.
+ *
+ * The code also supports underrun detection on the PCH transcoder.
