Can you try my patch "drm/i915/skl: Use proper plane dimensions for DDB
and WM calculations" first and see if it solves your problems?  It's
possible that your problems were caused by my fumble that I'm fixing
with that patch; if that patch fixes the problem, then we may not need
to alter the cursor's fixed allocation after all.

Of course as we noted, there are a handful of new workarounds in the
bspec (SAGV disabling, system memory bandwidth checking, etc.) that we
still don't have in our driver yet, so if any of those are the true root
cause, then your patch here is probably a reasonable short-term fix
until we can take action on the new workarounds.  In that case, you can
consider this patch

Unfortunately I only have a BXT which doesn't exhibit the problems
you're seeing, so I can't actually test this out myself.
