checking this again... this is a layer violation. We do have some in
the codebase, but it'd be good not to add more.

later I'd like these memcpy variants to be moved iosys-map. I'm not sure
if Thomas Zimmermann or Christian agree. Cc'ing them here.

Maybe we could scan the codebase and add a function in iosys-map like:

	void *iosys_map_get_ptr(struct iosys_map *map, bool is_lmem)

... which is similar to the ttm_kmap_obj_virtual() function we have in
ttm.

so the cases where the layer is violated at least they come from a
single function call in iosys_map API rather than directly accessing
is_iomem/vaddr_iomem/vaddr. Thomas/Christian, any opinion here?
