One thing I wonder here is whether we should have a modifier for each
physical layout (tiling modes do change slightly between hw) or whether we
should just continue to assume that this is Intel-specific and add a
disclaimer that the precise layout depends upon the actual intel box
you're running on?

Leaning towards your approach, worst case we get to write some code to
de-alias layout modifiers with established cross-vendor layouts (if they
ever happen). Just want to make sure that we've thought about this. Adding
Rob&dri-devel for this.
