I can't think of any theory, at that point the wb, irq ring, cp buffer
& ib pool are all allocated and pinned into gtt so they all have valid
entry backed by a real page. Maybe the GART flush & update is
seriously buggy but i expect we would have been hurt sooner by such
things. Maybe there is a bug in the hw... wouldn't be surprised. Will
try to think to crazy theory.
