I'm just wondering if rather than specify all the CACHED and MAPPABLE and 
SHAREABLE flags we make the BO interface in terms of CPU and GPU 
operations..

So we define
CPU_READ  - cpu needs to read from this buffer
CPU_WRITE - cpu need to write to the buffer
CPU_POOL  - cpu wants to use the buffer for suballocs

GPU_READ  - gpu reads
GPU_WRITE - gpu writes
(GPU_EXEC??) - batchbuffers? (maybe buffers that need relocs.. not sure)

We can then let the drivers internally decide what types of buffer to use 
and not expose the flags mess to userspace.

Dave.
