See gem_pread. Your huge_bo merely classifies as big...

But mixing pread and set-domain has strictly undefined semantics in
terms of what domain we expect the buffer to be in afterwards i.e. to be
correct you would have to call set-domain again after pread.

And you really should add huge_bo testing to gem_concurrent_blt.
