[PATCH] drm/i915: Allow userptr backchannel for passing aroung GTT mappings

[Chris Wilson <chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Once userptr becomes part of client API, it is almost a certainly that
eventually someone will try to create a new object from a mapping of
another client object, e.g.

new = vaImport(vaMap(old, &size), size);

(using a hypothethical API, not meaning to pick on anyone!)

Since this is actually fairly safe to implement and to allow (since it
is within a single process space and the memory access passes the
standard permissions test) let us not limit the Client possibilities.
