The mp_control() methods are the only ones I see, and, in my opinion,
they should really have been implemented using reserved methods on a
graphics class, and *not* in a purely software object.. If we need
them on GK20A too, we should reimplement them in gr, and bump the
minor version number so userspace knows.
