Using  3D engine (brw_blorp_blit_miptrees ) is a little slower on some 
benchmarks in virtualized environments.  3D engine is faster on my 
simple test on native Linux that has very very small GPU workload.  
Thus, it appears  the BLIT engine is the way to go for real world workloads.

Yes you are right.

no since use _mesa_image_row_stride() which takes RowLength into 
consideration. And actually the skipPixels and SkipRows test aren't 
needed after further testing.

Regular cubemaps work (see piglit cubemap-getteximage-pbo). See my new 
Piglit tests for 3D texture, and Array texture targets, which all work.
