The term "preliminary hardware support" has always caused confusion both
among users and developers. It has always been about preliminary driver
support for new hardware, and not so much about preliminary hardware. Of
course, initially both the software and hardware are in early stages,
but the distinction becomes more clear when the user picks up production
hardware and an older kernel to go with it, with just the early support
we had for the hardware at the time the kernel was released. The user
has to specifically enable the alpha quality *driver* support for the
hardware in that specific kernel version.
Rename preliminary_hw_support to alpha_support to emphasize that the
module parameter, config option, and flag are about software, not about
hardware. Improve the language in help texts and debug logging as well.
This appears to be a good time to do the change, as there are currently
no platforms with preliminary^W alpha support.

Make the .hws_needs_physical the exception by switching the flag
on earlier platforms since they are fewer to support. Remove the flag on
later GPUs hardware since they all use GTT hws by default.
Switch the logic as well in the driver to reflect this change

Introducing a GEN2_FEATURES macro to simplify the struct definitions by
platforms given that most of the features are common. Inspired by the
GEN7_FEATURES macro done by Ben W. and others.
Use it for 830, 845g, i85x, i865g.

As recommended by Ville Syrjala removing .is_mobile field from the
platform struct definition for vlv and hsw+ GPUs as there's no need to
make the distinction in later hardware anymore. Keep it for older GPUs
as it is still needed for ilk-ivb.
