Should have all we need for those platforms I think.

The followup to enable it for ilk+ would require a slight change to
bump X-tiled surface alignment to 256KiB. Apart from the actual regiser
smashing part that should be all we need really.

Oh, and the double buffer bit w/a will also be needed on bdw.
I've now tested snb/ivb/hsw/bdw and only bdw needs it. I guess
that's not entirely unsurpising since bdw did introduce one other
fail for the flip done interrupt (the interupt fires immediately 
when the plane was disabled, so can't use flip done to determine
when the plane has actually become visible). Fortunately that
other fail should have no impact on using it for async flip
completion.
