Why would you be doing such a thing in the first place? It seems
pointless, and quite possibly counter-productive to use a tiled layout
for a linear data structure...

I get what you're trying to do here, and we should definitely avoid
the "mappable vram" check on GF8, but I suspect this condition is too
broad. I'll think about it more after I finish reviewing the rest of
the patches on the list..
Thanks,
Ben.
