Thanks for taking a look.
I assumed that linear have always less alignment restrictions than 
tiled. I also assumed that the framebuffer size in linear is smaller 
than tiled (as we keep the same pixel format). So going from tiled to 
linear should be safe, the other way is not.

It's done this way in amdgpu [1], but I agree it might be different on 
Intel hardware

The alternative is to draw with tiling, which is what I have done for 
Y-tile and 4-tile format, so it's also a possibility, but more complex 
to maintain.
