If this was a new module that would be my preferance.  But the
kvmgt module already exists, so I thought it might be a good idea
to keep the name.

Hmm.  I suspect it could be done fairly easily, but from what I see
it would still require to disable GUC at i915 module load time.

If you want I could look into that for an incremental patch, but
to unblock the vfio/mdev work I'd like to do that in a separate
stage.
