Yes, exactly. I'd like to import a linear dma-buf using
EGL_EXT_image_dma_buf_import and GL_OES_EGL_image_external with the
etnaviv gallium driver.

The linear source buffer needs to be transferred into a shadow copy in
tiled layout. The texture samplers can only read from the tiled copy.

After the linear source buffer has been modified, binding the texture
again must trigger a refresh of the tiled copy somehow.
