Hey, here's an idea. How about we root cause bugs instead of making
blanket statements about the validity of real assertions? If the callers
of ggtt_offset are calling it on unbound objects, it's a violation of
the design. And in the other cases, it's a real bug.

I'd NAK this patch if it wasn't already merged, and my NAK meant
something.
