We use some of the lower bits of the retire function pointer for potential flags, which is quite thorny, since the caller needs to remember to give the function the correct alignment with __i915_active_call, otherwise we might incorrectly unpack the pointer and jump to some garbage address later. Instead of all this let's just pass the flags along as a separate parameter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
