Argh. Try the 16x16 test. I also forgot this doesn't matter for >= R300, so I
was hitting acceleration even with 2x2.

In general, older hardware tends to only support repeat with power-of-two
dimensions. And pre-R300 Radeons have this peculiarity where you can't choose
an explicit pitch for power-of-two textures, the hardware just rounds up the
width to the next multiple of 32 bytes. For other reasons, we can currently
only use multiples of 64 bytes for the pitch, so if those pitches don't match
(and the height is > 1) we can't do repeat. See RADEONPitchMatches() and its
callers.

So it looks like this patch already gets us ahead of software fallbacks, at
least on >= R300. :)
