Hmm, I also forgot to mention we then pluck a bo out of cache returning
a potentially larger than required size. However, looks like I need to
double check userspace to make sure we are overallocating tile rows.

So we have a choice of overallocating the GTT for fenced regions, or
rounding the fence region to a tile row which preserves the existing
functional userspace behaviour. The right answer is indeed to modify the
behaviour to overallocate physical space so the fence region doesn't
overlap another bo. Next up you need to review what happens after a
change of tiling and whether we rebind before the next fenced GTT
access.
