So not sure what will happen in the future but till now and in the
forseeable future all dGfx platforms have LMEM, so gem_has_lmem seems fine.

I think if we introduce IS_DGFX() as in this patch, we should have an
additional patch to convert all tests using gem_has_lmem() to IS_DGFX() so
that we don't have multiple ways of tests deciding if something should run
for dGfx.

Or maybe both are also ok? So lmem related tests should use gem_has_lmem()
and non LMEM related tests should use IS_DGFX()?

So if we want to merge this let's look at other tests which are presently
using gem_has_lmem() and see if any need to be converted over to
IS_DGFX(). Or to keep things simple just use gem_has_lmem() for now?

Thanks.
