Paulo Zanoni ecad594e02 reg_dumper: change and fix behavior when using dump files
Before this patch, handling dump files was wrong:
- when HAS_PCH_SPLIT was specified, intel_reg_dumper segfaulted inside
  intel_check_pch()
- the "devid" variable was used but not set
- there was no way to specify the device id of the machine used to
  generate the dump file

This patch fixes this behavior with the following changes:
- the HAS_PCH_SPLIT variable is gone
- there is now a '-d' argument that can be used to specify the device id
  used to interpret the results
- when a dump file is used but the '-d' argument is not provided, an
  Ironlake machine is assumed

.SH NAME
intel_reg_dumper \- Decode a bunch of Intel GPU registers for debugging
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B intel_reg_dumper [ options ] [ file ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B intel_reg_dumper
is a tool to read and decode the values of many Intel GPU registers. It is
commonly used in debugging video mode setting issues. If the
.B file
argument is present, the registers will be decoded from the given file
instead of the current registers. Use the
.B intel_reg_snapshot
tool to generate such files.
When the
.B file
argument is present and the
.B -d
argument is not present,
.B intel_reg_dumper
will assume the file was generated on an Ironlake machine.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B -d id
when a dump file is used, use 'id' as device id (in hex)
.TP
.B -h
prints a help message

.BR intel_reg_snapshot(1)
