I trawled through them when I made the original patch, but the
information in the specs was lacking. Eg. for some registers they
just state something like "for tiled surfaces the stride is limited to
N", with no mention what the untiled limit is. So if someone wants to
figure out the real limits, the best option would be to test on real
HW. Currently I have access only to Gen5+ HW, so I can't do it myself.
