Mine says:
[...]
       Option "LinearAlloc" "integer"

              Allows  more  memory  for the offscreen allocator. This
	      usually helps in situations where HDTV movies are required to
	      play but not enough offscreen memory is usually available.
	      Set this  to 6144 for upto 1920x1080 HDTV support.  Default
	      0KB (off).
[...]
X Version 11                 xf86-video-i810 1.6.5                     I810(4)

So that's why. Feel free to correct, citing some trustworthy source.
