Now that fallback to gtt is fixed for cpu access, we can
remove this limit.

A BO of size rdev->mc.gtt_size can never actually be bound to GTT,
because we have some pinned BOs in there. I think it's a bit
disingenuous to let userspace allocate a BO that can never actually be
used by the GPU. :)

The hack I attached to
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78717 has a start for
dealing with that. I was running that patch for a while and didn't
notice any bad effects from it.

Haven't looked at the patch yet, but can't we just go over all existing allocations on PIN and figure out the largest free area and save that value? I mean pinning of GTT memory happens rarely and mostly on system startup.

Christian.
