I tried using I915_CONTEXT_CREATE_EXT_SETPARAM with
I915_CONTEXT_PARAM_VM, but this line was segfaulting (file_priv was
NULL).

I think it was because in i915_gem_context_create_ioctl, we process
the I915_CONTEXT_CREATE_FLAGS_USE_EXTENSIONS flag before we call
gem_context_register. (gem_context_register sets ctx->file_priv) If I
move the gem_context_register call before the
I915_CONTEXT_CREATE_FLAGS_USE_EXTENSIONS handling, the segfault goes
away.
