Daniel Vetter c2e0eb1670 drm/i915: fix corruptions on i8xx due to relaxed fencing
It looks like gen2 has a peculiar interleaved 2-row inter-tile
layout. Probably inherited from i81x which had 2kb tiles (which
naturally fit an even-number-of-tile-rows scheme to fit onto 4kb
pages). There is no other mention of this in any docs (also not
in the Intel internal documention according to Chris Wilson).

Problem manifests itself in corruptions in the second half of the
last tile row (if the bo has an odd number of tiles). Which can
only happen with relaxed tiling (introduced in a00b10c360).

So reject set_tiling calls that don't satisfy this constrain to
prevent broken userspace from causing havoc. While at it, also
check the size for newer chipsets.

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:
