Public bug reported:

     i915 enable_rc6=0 is not respected.  I want to disable rc6 power savings 
because it is a tower
machine with a kilowatt supply and lots of fan so I don't give a rip about 
power consumption, I do not
want my display interrupted while I'm watching a movie or video and when 
monitoring things I want to
be able to walk by the monitor and see what is going on without having to go up 
and wiggle the mouse
and wait for it to wake up and my monitor to sync.

     I have an i7-9700k on an Asus Z390A Prime motherboard.  I have
enable RC6 disabled in the BIOS so BIOS isn't enabling it, in
/etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf I have:

     options i915 enable_guc=3 enable_dc=0 enable_rc6=0

     In /etc/default/grub I have:

     GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash xdg.force_integrated=1
modprobe.blacklist=nouveau i915.i915_enable_rc6=0"

     I have done update-grub2 and update-initramfs -u -k all and
rebooted, but still:

cat /sys/class/drm/card0/power/rc6_enable
1

     The kernel totally ignores my instructions and enables the damned
thing anyway.  ARRGGH!
