I've played around a bit and it looks like everyone is wrong (minus the
current code;). Tested on my ilk (thinkpad t410) ymmv.

Not setting pitch or tiling_mode is a bad idea and results in garbage on
the screen. So hw does indeed read this values (despite what the docs seem
to claim). But at least for my ilk here, published docs are correct: Or'ing
it in with the pitch results in garbage, too.

The original patch is therefore broken, 'cause it moves around the
tiling_mode bit (with mentioning this in the changelog).

I suspect something changed with sandybridge and whoever wrote the docs
made a mess out of it.
