Revert "drm/i915: Don't save/restore hardware status page address register"
This reverts commit a7a75c8f. There are two different variations on how Intel hardware addresses the "Hardware Status Page". One as a location in physical memory and the other as an offset into the virtual memory of the GPU, used in more recent chipsets. (The HWS itself is a cacheable region of memory which the GPU can write to without requiring CPU synchronisation, used for updating various details of hardware state, such as the position of the GPU head in the ringbuffer, the last breadcrumb seqno, etc). These two types of addresses were updated in different locations of code - one inline with the ringbuffer initialisation, and the other during device initialisation. (The HWS page is logically associated with the rings, and there is one HWS page per ring.) During resume, only the ringbuffers were being re-initialised along with the virtual HWS page, leaving the older physical address HWS untouched. This then caused a hang on the older gen3/4 (915GM, 945GM, 965GM) the first time we tried to synchronise the GPU as the breadcrumbs were never being updated.
