i915_gem_gtt_bind_object() sets has_global_gtt_mapping, so no need to

I guess that was the easy one you throw in to make sure people are
reading your patches?

A little uneasy still with that heuristic, but I have to agree that it
is the lesser of the evils, meh.

I'm pretty happy now with this series as I've been beating upon it ever
