That won't work either. The most common use of fpfn~lpfn range is to
limit a BO to visible VRAM, the other use cases are to fullfil hardware
limitations.
So blocking this would result in blocking all normal GTT and VRAM
allocations, adding a mutex to validate would have the same effect.

Christian.
