In preparation for having per GEN MMIO functions, create, and start
using MMIO functions in our uncore data structure. This simply makes the
transition easier by allowing us to just plug in the per GEN stuff
later.
For simplicity, I moved the intel_uncore_init() function down since
those rely on static functions defined lower in the file. This is most
of the churn in this patch.
I made one unrelated change here by using off_t datatype for the offset
of the register to write. I like the clarity that this brings to the
code. If I did it as a separate patch, I am pretty certain it would get
bikeshedded to oblivion.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
