We require n-1 mailboxes for proper semaphore synchronization. All
semaphore synchronization code relies on proper values in these
mailboxes. The fact that we failed to touch the vebox ring by itself
was unlikely to be an issue since the HW should be initializing the
values to 0. However the error framework for testing seqno wrap
introduced by Mika, in addition to the hangcheck via seqno, and
i915_error_first_batchbuffer() combined caused a nice explosion.
The problem is caused by seqno wrap because the wrap condition is not
properly setup. The wrap code attempts to set the sync mailboxes all
to 0, and then set the current seqno to one less than 0. In all cases,
the vebox mailbox wasn't properly being initialized. This caused a
wrap to not occur. When hangcheck kicks in with the bogus seqno
values, the rest just doesn't work. It makes me wonder if we shouldn't
consider a dumber version of hangcheck...
How we messed this up: VECS support was written before the
aforementioned other features. Upon VECS being rebased, these facts
were missed.
