That bug conflates two issues, with the main issue being unrelated to
corruption.

As I wrote in another thread, the fix has now been pushed to
drm-intel-fixes branch of http://cgit.freedesktop.org/drm-intel. It's
-rc4 plus half a dozen fixes, including "drm/i915: Round tile chunks up
for constructing partial VMAs" which should fix the corruption.

Please try that, and report back. If it doesn't fix the issue, please
file a bug at the freedesktop.org bugzilla.

BR,
Jani.
