    drm/i915: Flush pending writes on i830/i845 after updating GTT

    There is an erratum on these two chipsets that causes the wrong PTE
    entries to be invalidate after updating the GTT and when used from the
    BLT engine. The workaround is to flush any pending writes before those
    PTEs are used by the BLT.

this reduces to the general i8xx incoherency, bug 27187. For which I have a
patch which appears to work on my i845; passing both the wtf test and Daniel's
cache-coherency checker!
