Broadwell and newer actually compress up to 2560 lines instead of 2048
(as documented in the FBC_CTL page). If we don't take this into
consideration we end up reserving too little stolen memory for the
CFB, so we may allocate something else (such as a ring) right after
what we reserved, and the hardware will overwrite it with the contents
of the CFB when FBC is active, causing GPU hangs. Another possibility
is that the CFB may be allocated at the very end of the available
space, so the CFB will overlap the reserved stolen area, leading to
FIFO underruns.
This bug has always been a problem on BDW (the only affected platform
where FBC is enabled by default), but it's much easier to reproduce
since the following commit:

drm/i915: Allocate rings from stolen
Of course, you can only reproduce the bug if your screen is taller
than 2048 lines.
