I think it also took

    drm/i915: Only mark as map-and-fenceable when bound into the GGTT

to expose the bug in testing.

Also, that was when unbinding from the GTT meant UC writes and clflushing,
so we went to great pains to avoid such.

It was also only triggered by recent additions to
gem_concurrent_blit (which itself was trying to stress test our
fence-vs-GPU serialisation for testing requests - so I can claim it was
intentional!). However, it turns out to be easier to hit in practice
than in testing. :|
