Meh, didn't read sna carefully enough. On a second read we only seem to
have the code added

sna: Resize an existing framebuffer if possible
That seems to just be for the cache, should be able to cope with failures
and we can fix it by moving the rmfb up before the set_tiling. It's also
only 2 weeks old.
So if there's nothing else I've missed I strongly vote to break the
pre-release over saner intefaces - allowing tiling to change kinda wreaks
a bit havoc with out in-kernel checks ...
