Please hold merging this patch, as many more items need to be crossed
off before such a patch can land.
Such items include:
- Assess all the existing GUC-related bugs, and prove they won't
suddenly get seen by more users
- add fault injection to the FW loading path
- add IGT tests to make sure driver behaves well on different FW
loading errors
