The original intention of comparing the bo against the mappable GTT limits was to prevent a subsequent faulting of the bo into the GTT from clearing the entire GTT in vain. However, that was clearly a cut'n'paste mistake as a CPU mapping never binds the bo into the aperture. Whilst there may be some merit to limiting the maximum size of the bo to something that can be utilized by the GPU, that limit itself does not belong as a safeguard to mmapping the bo, so remove the check entirely.
