We need to add support for pread'ing an LMEM object.
Why? Usage outside from igts seems pretty dead, at least looking at iris
and anv. This was kinda a neat thing for when we didn't yet realized that
doing clflush in userspace is both possible and more efficient.
Same for pwrite, iris just dropped it, anv doesn't seem to use it. And I
thought mesa plan is to drop the old classic driver for when we'll need
lmem. It's not much, but would allow us to drop a few things.
Hmm, it was at least useful in the super early days for debugging. If we
were to drop this what do we do with the igts? Just use mmap?
