i915_gem_gtt_bind_object() sets has_global_gtt_mapping, so no need to
repeat ourselves here.

I guess that was the easy one you throw in to make sure people are
reading your patches?

A little uneasy still with that heuristic, but I have to agree that it
is the lesser of the evils, meh.

I'm pretty happy now with this series as I've been beating upon it ever
since it landed in danvet/my-next, so
