Is the claim of a performance regression this solved based on a wedged 
GPU which does not work any more to the extend where mmio tlb 
invalidation requests keep timing out? If so please clarify in the 
commit text and then it looks good to me. Even if it is IMO a very 
borderline situation to declare something a fix.
