It just crossed my mind, that I never did due diligence on _other_
callers of i915_sw_fence_init().  In fact they're okay, but that's
because their fence functions are all declared with the
#define __i915_sw_fence_call __aligned(4)
from i915_sw_fence.h, which I had not seen when I sent the patch.

I'm not going to resend, but if I were you, I'd quietly edit that
patch to use __i915_sw_fence_call in place of my __aligned(4).

Thanks,
Hugh
