Then why it is there in intel_render_ring_init_dri():

    int intel_render_ring_init_dri(struct drm_device *dev, u64 start, u32 size)
    {
    	drm_i915_private_t *dev_priv = dev->dev_private;
    	struct intel_ring_buffer *ring = &dev_priv->ring[RCS];
    
    	*ring = render_ring;
    	if (INTEL_INFO(dev)->gen >= 6) {
    		ring->add_request = gen6_add_request;
    		ring->irq_get = gen6_render_ring_get_irq;
    		ring->irq_put = gen6_render_ring_put_irq;
    	} else if (IS_GEN5(dev)) {
    		ring->add_request = pc_render_add_request;
    		ring->get_seqno = pc_render_get_seqno;
    	}


?


Added by the same guilty commit e8616b6c I'm talking about.
