mesa does use heapless for the scratch buffers, and on  BDW+ that's
the only address type that's relative to general state base address.
So we need the workaround there, whether or not there's a HW
limitation/bug.

I don't think there is a HW problem though. The driver I'm working on
can use 48 bit ppgtt and Chris Wilson's softpin ioctl for userspace BO
placement. I enabled that and made the userspace allocator place all
BOs above 8g, and it all stilll worked. In particular, the
instructions were above 8g and referenced relative to instruction base
address. If the instruction base was limited to 4g, this would have
hung the GPU.

The fact that the HW limits the size of the heaps to 4g can be
restriction when we move to full 48 ppgtt, but for how mesa uses
STATE_BASE_ADDRESS, it only affects general state base address.
