dumb buffers is a part of the kms api. Userspace expects it to be
there, like for all other kms drivers.

But yes eventually I think we should also have some nice prime tests
using vgem. Using crcs it should be possible to check that the fences
are used correctly for flips using only generic kms interfaces, and so
write a purely generic kms + vgem prime testcase.
