I'd assume the golden state capture being the one with biggest impact.

Indeed. Hope is that modprobe/rmmod would be enough to enable/disable.
This should help any distros intending to enable the feature, too.

So mostly about making sure the IS_ENABLED portions in base i915
operation are not too invasive.

On the GVT supported platforms GuC is disabled by default, so it should
be fine. We can change the logic to opposite to disable the feature if
the enable_guc unsafe modparam is used.
