Okay I spent today bisecting this and although I'm not 100% sure I got
it right the whole way down, I think where I landed seems sane, so I
said I'd share

This seems to cause the blank rendering zones people have been reporting.

drm/i915: don't pwrite tiled objects through the gtt

    ... we will botch up the bit17 swizzling. Furthermore tiled pwrite is
    a (now) unused slowpath, so no one really cares.

    This fixes the last swizzling issues I have with i-g-t on my bit17
    swizzling i915G. No regression, it's been broken since the dawn of
    gem, but it's nice for regression tracking when really _all_ i-g-t
    tests work.

    Actually this is not true, Chris Wilson noticed while reviewing this
    patch that the commit

        drm/i915: Pipelined fencing [infrastructure]
