Not completely reviewed yet but some changes are needed, please see below.

set_domain is not available for discrete, see IGT gem_set_domain().

This needs to be changed to mmap_offset, DRM_IOCTL_I915_GEM_MMAP has been
discontinued for future products.

Relocations are also not available for future products. Let's use softpin,
it is simple to do and several examples for this are already merged.

Don't we need /dev/null rather than /dev/zero? Anyway looks unnecessarily
complicated, just malloc a buffer and read repeatedly into it?
