The problem here is that SNA pins batchbuffers to etch out a bit more
performance. Iirc it started out as a w/a for i830M (which we've
implemented in the kernel since a long time already). The problem is
that the pin ioctl wasn't added in

drm/i915: Prevent negative relocation deltas from wrapping
Fix this by simply disallowing pinning from userspace so that the
kernel is in full control of batch placement again. Especially since
distros are moving towards running X as non-root, so most users won't
even be able to see any benefits.
UMS support is dead now, but we need this minimal patch for
backporting. Follow-up patch will remove the pin ioctl code
completely.
