I actually didn't check the perf improvement or the actual number of
back-to-back MMU faults, but
dEQP-GLES31.functional.draw_indirect.compute_interop.large.drawelements_combined_grid_1000x1000_drawcount_5000
seemed to generate a few of those, so I thought it'd be good to
optimize that case given how trivial it is.
