Oh, one point Eric Anholt mentioned on another thread about movntqda is
that stale data inside the internal buffer is not automatically
invalidated. We may need to emit explicit mfence before the copies if we
are in doubt. A single mfence per tiled-copy is probably not enough to
worry about optimising away.
