I'm not entirely comfortable with overwriting FFTID.  It might be fine
to overwrite the copy in sr0 - I don't know.  It's generally used to
communicate which thread is talking to the fixed-function hardware.

At one point, I supplied 0 in URB write messages where FFTID ought to
have gone, and things slowed down by 80% on Ivybridge, presumably due
to major stalls and confusion about what threads were done.
