On memory constrained hardware, tiling is vital for good performance as it minimizes cache misses. The downside is that for older hardware (which often suffers from the lack of bandwidth) requires the use of fences for many operations, which are in short supply and so may cause shorter batchbuffers. However our batch buffers are typically short and so this is unlikely to be a concern and not affect the performance wins. A quick bit of testing suggests the effect is inconclusive on firefox/i945: linear tiled xcb 205.470 206.219 xcb-render-0.0 404.704 388.413 xlib 166.410 170.805 A secondary effect of the patch is to workaround a G31 specific hang when attempting to use linear 2048x2048 surfaces. Bonus!
