Well if Mesa just wants to query the existing mapping then why not add a 
amdgpu_bo_get_cpu_ptr() which just queries if a CPU mapping exists and 
if yes returns the appropriate pointer or NULL otherwise?

I mean when we want to abstract everything in libdrm then we just need 
to add the functions we need to use this abstraction.
