I should note there is a problem with this patch. Without full PPGTT, we
also do a restore inhibit on the default context, and therefore any test
which is running and not using contexts (like everything in IGT) is
programming restore inhibit as well as force restore, which as has been
pointed out in the semaphore series is weird at best.

All I know is the patch fixed at least a few of the bugs mentioned
below. I guess we'll figure out what to do when the QA results come in.
