Well yeah, but that existing code has piles of tests already to make sure
that gtt writes are somewhat coherent with pwrite, and another test that
pwrite is coherent with the actual cursor scanned out by hw.

This otoh adds new code, without igt test coverage. So there is a new test
coverage gap.

Anyway I've decided that the cleanup is worth it on its own and the
platform this applies to are too old to really care, so merged the patch
without tests.
