IIRC ctg supposedly introduced some form of ppgtt. Isn't that the
reason?

Hmm. Now I wonder how anything works on these platforms. Should the
batch itself be executed via ppgtt if it's non-secure? Maybe the hw
has a fallback mechanism of some sort to execute via ggtt if ppgtt
isn't enabled...

ppgtt enable bit:
"When this bit is clear, all memory accesses will be completed using the
GGTT. Privileged memory protections will not be enforced (it is
acceptable for a non-secure batch buffer to access GGTT space)"

OK. That seems to confirm that part of the theory.

For pre-ctg the spec says:
"Although Buffer Security Indicator is implemented, there is no usage
 model for it and it need not be validated."

So I'm thinking we should never set the non-secure bit on these old
platforms.
