    The problem here is that SNA pins batchbuffers to etch out a bit more
    performance. Iirc it started out as a w/a for i830M (which we've
    implemented in the kernel since a long time already). The problem is
    that the pin ioctl wasn't added in

        drm/i915: Prevent negative relocation deltas from wrapping
    
    Fix this by simply disallowing pinning from userspace so that the
    kernel is in full control of batch placement again. Especially since
    distros are moving towards running X as non-root, so most users won't
    even be able to see any benefits.
    
    UMS support is dead now, but we need this minimal patch for
    backporting. Follow-up patch will remove the pin ioctl code
    completely.
    
    Note to backporters: You must have both

    which is also marked cc: stable. Otherwise this could introduce a
    regression by disabling the userspace w/a without the kernel w/a being
    fully functional on i830/45.
