Daniel Vetter 85bf36e048 drm/i915: fix tiling limits for i915 class hw v2
commit c36a2a6de5 upstream.

Current code is definitely crap: Largest pitch allowed spills into
the TILING_Y bit of the fence registers ... :(

I've rewritten the limits check under the assumption that 3rd gen hw
has a 3d pitch limit of 8kb (like 2nd gen). This is supported by an
otherwise totally misleading XXX comment.

This bug mostly resulted in tiling-corrupted pixmaps because the kernel
allowed too wide buffers to be tiled. Bug brought to the light by the
xf86-video-intel 2.11 release because that unconditionally enabled
tiling for pixmaps, relying on the kernel to check things. Tiling for
the framebuffer was not affected because the ddx does some additional
checks there ensure the buffer is within hw-limits.

v2: Instead of computing the value that would be written into the
hw fence registers and then checking the limits simply check whether
the stride is above the 8kb limit. To better document the hw, add
some WARN_ONs in i915_write_fence_reg like I've done for the i830
case (using the right limits).

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.
