The obj->dirty bit is a companion to the obj->active bits that were
moved to the obj->flags bitmask. Since we also update this bit inside
the i915_vma_move_to_active() hotpath, we can aide gcc by also moving
the obj->dirty bit to obj->flags bitmask.

At this point the object is or may not be pinned. From our conversation
back in April ...
What I particularly dislike about the current obj->dirty is that it is
strictly only valid inside a pin_pages/unpin_pages section. That isn't
clear from the API atm.

So, I tried replacing all instances of "obj->dirty = true" with my
newfunction i915_gem_object_mark_dirty(), and added an assertion that
> it's called only when (pages_pin_count > 0) - and found a failure.
Stack is:
i915_gem_object_mark_dirty
i915_gem_object_set_to_gtt_domain
i915_gem_set_domain_ioctl
So is i915_gem_object_set_to_gtt_domain() wrong? It's done a
get_pages but no pin_pages.
... and the same issue is still there. I think I worked out a
hypothetical scenario where this would lead to data corruption:
* set to GTT => mark dirty
* BO paged out => flushed to swap, marked clean
* BO paged in => still clean
* update contents => still clean?
* get paged out => not written out?
But can this actually happen?
