The point of a helper library is that it helps, not that every caller has
to work around it's choice of size and stride.

The only thing we need to do here is fix up the selection of stride and
size to make it not pick the super-conservative value that work even on
gen2&3. Something like:

diff --git a/lib/igt_fb.c b/lib/igt_fb.c

 	} else {

 		stride = (width * (bpp / 8) + 63) & ~63;


Or whatever is the right thing to pick that works on gen4+.
