i915 selftest hangcheck is causing the i915 driver timeouts, as reported by Intel CI:

When such test runs, the only output is:

After that, the machine just silently hangs.
The root cause is that the flush TLB logic is not working as expected on GEN8.
Tested on an Intel NUC5i7RYB with an i7-5557U Broadwell CPU.
This patch partially reverts the logic by skipping GEN8 from the TLB cache flush.
Since I am pretty sure no such failures were spotted when merging the feature I assume the failure is sporadic and/or limited to some configurations? Do you have any details there? Because it is an important security issue we should not revert it lightly.
It occurs every time here: https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/fi-bdw-5557u.html
It also happens on my own NUC5i7RYB every time when the TLB patch is applied. Reverting it (or applying this fix) is enough for hangcheck to pass.
I suspect that TLB flush never happens there, causing ETIMEOUT at hangcheck.
It could indeed be limited to some specific setups. I dunno. The only Gen8 machine I have access is my own NUC. So, I can't test it elsewhere.
