Ssh. That's not what I meant to say. I meant that the policy is not ABI,
and we abuse our internal knowledge to get a working test, as we do
elsewhere in igt.

What's important to make this trick work is to allocate new handles
every time. That way we fill up the GTT and thereby hope to skip over
the fragmented part.
