We could just unconditionally increase the alignement in
intel_pin_and_fence_fb_obj - we already have more strict requirements due
to a bunch of w/a in other places. So shouldn't hurt at all really.

Hm right, I've mixed that. I guess we could be a bit more sloppy with
this, otoh no one yet seems to want it and Ville's pageflip stuff is
rather madly flexible.
