More FIFO work. I've implemented intelligent mechanism in GatherPipeBursted to prevent "FIFO is overflown by GatherPipe!". I commented HiWatermark_Tighter parameter. If Hopefully this patch fix this issue. I will delete this definitely. I tested StarFox for 20 minutes and works really fine. :) This patch also can help when the CPU go ahead the GPU and sync in better way.

Plus: I added a _assert_msg_ in FIFO loop when the WriteDistance is negative. Please if that happens report it, this can help to solve strange issues with wrong WriteDistances.
