To avoid context corruption on some gens, we need to hold forcewake for long periods of time. This leads to increased energy expenditure for mostly idle workloads.
To combat the increased power consumption, park GPU more hastily.
As the HW isn't so quick to end up in rc6, this software mechanism supplements it. So we can apply it, across all gens.
