I don't have an external machine to upload it to. Getting an external
machine to run Mesa CI on has been on our todo for a while, so I'll try
to setup something next week.

The issue here seems to be that vmwgfx always had some buffers that
didn't immediately go through vmw_validation_bo_reserve. What's
happening is that in vmwgfx_execbuf.c in vmw_execbuf_process we call
vmw_validation_bo_reserve and after it we call
vmw_validation_res_validate. Inside vmw_validation_res_validate (in
vmwgfx_validation.c) we call vmw_resource_validate, which calls
vmw_resource_do_validate . vmw_resource_do_validate has this code "ret
= func->create(res);" which is an issue for vmwgfx_cotable.c . The
func->create for cotable's is vmw_cotable_create which calls
vmw_cotable_resize which creates, reserves and validates a new bo.

In short a new bo is created in vmw_cotable_resize between
ttm_eu_reserve_buffers and ttm_eu_fence_buffer_objects calls.
