There's some good discussion going on in some internal thread about what
to do with wc mmaps. The idea is to use the dirty ioctl to flush them, but
at least for fbc we already filter ORIGIN_GTT out, which means fbc won't
see the dirtyfb flushes for cpu wc mmaps. Should we have a ORIGIN_DIRTYFB,
which essentially just means "any kind of cpu frontbuffer rendering"?

Otoh we can make this change when Paulo implements the wc-mmap for
frontbuffers stuff.
