Why is that required? As I explain above, we should satisfy the
requirements of the ARB_buffer_storage extension AFAICT.


As pointed out by you and Grigori in other posts, I should probably just
drop the special treatment of persistent mappings though, so the
placement and flags are derived from the buffer usage.
