There is only one thing that's bad for PCIe when the surface is
linear: the 3D engine. Disabling all but the first shader engine and
all but the first 2 RBs should improve performance for blits from VRAM
to GTT. The closed driver does that, but I don't remember if the
destination must be linear, must be in GTT, or both. In any case, SDMA
should still be the best for VRAM->GTT blits.
