Use mmap_cpu and gem_set_caching().

Hmm, have we forgot the (len-2) or is this an unusual command that knows
its own length?

DOMAIN_RENDER preferably. You don't need the w/a. Could we not lie about
the write-hazard? Removes the need for EXEC_OBJECT_ASYNC and opens up
the possibility for using different dwords for different engines and then
waiting for all-engines.

gen4 and gen5 require I915_EXEC_SECURE and a DRM_MASTER fd.
We can just do something like
if (gen == 4 || gen == 5)
igt_require(igt_device_set_master(fd) == 0));

igt_require(gem_can_store_dword(fd, engine));
Not all platforms have a MI_STORE_DWORD/DATA_IMM (with virtual addresses
at least) and some platforms will die (*cough* snb *cough*).

Put ';' on a new line so it's clearly visible.

spin_sync() has connotations with gem_sync(). gem_sync is wait for end,
but spin_sync is wait_for_start. Maybe spin_wait_for_execute? Nah.

obj[] must be set up by the caller; the EXEC_OBJECT_PINNED are
essential. Or else the kernel *will* move spin->poll_handle and then it
is fubar.
