OK - I retested resetting ddx properly :-) using git log to pick rather than
cgit and the commit this starts with is -

commit fccdca8db34010f566bd068c74cdef0f4a8cb7f5

    radeon/kms: allow tiled front buffer on 6xx/7xx

    Use UTS/DFS to tile/untile as appropriate for sw access.
    Also enables pageflipping with tiling enabled.

If I reset to the commit before this I get the same perf with or without
tiling, so whatever the s/w fallback did then was a lot faster.
