Are you looking at old code, because this line is not there in this
function any more. There have been several changes to the function lately,
aging tail etc. is gone e.g.

But otherwise you are right, Patch 2 basically writes over Patch 1, so the
two patches can be squashed. I separated out Patch 1 since it shows the bug
(incidentally the bug doesn't show up in i915 since a 16 MB BO in i915 is
16 MB aligned, I discovered the bug while porting stuff to xe).

So if you are going to R-b this series I can repost after squashing. But if
we wait for Umesh to return (he is out till the end of the month) and
review this, I'd rather leave the two patches as they are till Umesh
reviews them.

Thanks.
