The fencing looks correct. To me it looks like we filled the vma with
the wrong set of pages from the parent object.

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/ #drm-intel-nightly contains one
interesting patch wrt to the partial vma->pages
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel/commit/?h=drm-intel-next-queued&id=d2a84a76a3b970fa32e6eda3d85e7782f831379e
Do you mind testing -nightly to see if I'm barking up the wrong tree?
