The code looks good to me (but I didn't test it either).  I'm in favor
of this happening.

i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() ?

Damn our error unwinding is hard to follow, which means it's probably
broken somewhere. From i915_load_modeset_init() we call
i915_gem_init() which does some stuff directly and then calls
i915_gem_init_hw(). And if we get some error later in i915_load_modeset_init(),
we manually unwind all the stuff that i915_gem_init() and i915_gem_init_hw()
supposedly did. This could sure use some i915_gem_fini() and i915_gem_fini_hw()
to keep the do+undo code close together.

My mistake was intentional at least, and not the usual copy/paste.
Somehow this looked right to me earlier.

Thanks.

It's definitely a mess. TBF, it's been changing a lot more recently than
it had in the past.

But yeah this is missing. I wonder if I missed this last time I wrote
the patch too...? Thanks.
