I didn't notice any testing of:
 - param->size
 - feeding garbage into param->value user pointer (always cleared before
   use, perhaps just poison instead), along with abusive pointers.
   E.g., how does the code fare if we pass in an unfaulted GGTT mmap?

We so need a cook book (even automated) for pointer abuse.
