I think what Ben actually wants is a ctx_id in the soft-pin ioctl. Makes
his mirrored ppgtt POC a 2 ioctl thing, but the resulting orthogonality of
interfaces is imo something much to be preferred. Since we still need real
bos for scanout targets and similar, and I'm going to rip everyone's head
off if we do that by shmem-mapping+userptr ;-)
