I was completely wrong here, sorry. Digging through the git history it
looks like this came from:

Commit 149c84077fe717af883bae459623ef1cebd86388

    drm/i915: implement SNB workaround for lazy global gtt

    PIPE_CONTROL on snb needs global gtt mappings in place to workaround a
    hw gotcha. No other commands need such a workaround. Luckily we can
    detect a PIPE_CONTROL commands easily because they have a write_domain
    = I915_GEM_DOMAIN_INSTRUCTION (and nothing else has that).

so it looks to be unrelated to GPU relocs, which AFAIK didn't exist at
the time. I just saw the MI comment and assumed it was talking about
the MI_STORE_DWORD...
