Comment says that this applies to earlier gens, too. Since two more
MI_NOOP's can't hurt that much, I've figured I'll apply this w/a down
to gen2.

v2: Correct the ringbuffer dword count for gen3, spotted by Chris
Wilson.

I'm just not sold on this one, surely we would have spotted a need
before now? 12 extra cycles after every batch! :-p

Can you please fix up the cut'n'paste comments to not refer to
generations that never call the function?
