I got more and more a feeling that this is timing related. As the current
logic fails to ever re-use the items in the cache, the comparisons are
redundant and we can hardcode the search to always fail. This changes the
runtime dynamics closer to the patch being reverted:

diff --git a/src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/brw_state_cache.c b/src/mesa/drivers/dri/
index f5f279c..746fe7b 100644

            continue;
         }
 
+         return false;
+
          if (cache->aux_compare[result_item->cache_id]) {
             if (!cache->aux_compare[result_item->cache_id](item_aux, aux))
                continue;


I can reproduce the error on IVB when I disable fast clears (I noticed that
the error is not SKL specific - it depends on the fast clears being disabled).
