Ah, added the boundary tests to gem_userptr_blits/invalid-gtt-mapping
and by printk confirmed hitting the bug you pointed out. However, the
igt still passes because we defer to the worker and that generates the
EFAULT. Catching it as a real error is proving difficult, needs Michal's
machinery on top of the overlap of neighbouring vma.
