The libdrm/mesa design isn't the hard part, we have that even as a
helper for etnaviv and all those drivers. Being inconsistent here is a
think more a nuisance for integrators, who might want to sandbox gpu
clients real hard and really want to know what access rights they need
to give out.

But then we have much, much bigger fish to fry from a cross-driver
consistency pov, so *shrug*. Just feels somewhat silly we can't even
get agreement or some kind of consistent plan on something fairly
simple like this.
