I agree that exynos userptr as-is should be removed since as opposed to
the i915 implementation it doesn't play nice with the core mm and allos
unpriviledged userspace to exceed all mlock limits.

I've taken considerable amounts of internal heat for rejecting i915
userptr until the mmu notifier stuff was implemented and so really want
exynos to fix this up asap.

Dave?
