memory corruption, possibly caused by i915

[Dave Jones]

We've had a increased number of reports in the last six months or so
from Fedora users getting corrupted page tables.
At first I wrote it off to bad hardware, but they started happening frequently
enough that I began to wonder if it was a real problem.

The only common thing I could think of was that now that gnome-shell is
our default desktop, we're making a lot more use of DRI than we used to.

To test a hypothesis, I played a whole lot of quake3 over the holidays,
and was finally able to make it happen too.

After playing the game for a few hours, I exited it, and all was well.
But when I then went to shut down the laptop, I saw this..

It's falling over in btrfs's mmap op, but I think it's just the victim here,
of something else corrupting what had been mmaped in the panel process.

Daniel, can you think of additional sanity checks that could be added to
the i915 driver ? (Even if at the expense of speed: a CONFIG_DEBUG option
to prove correctness would be very worthwhile imo)
