[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 09/10] panfrost: Make SLAB pool creation rely on BO helpers

Eventually I do think we'll want to toss these SLAB allocations
entirely, in favour of plain old BOs (and managing transient memory ourself
as discussed).

The case that wouldn't be handled are the "persistent command stream
descriptors" but I think that might be totally unused now.

What we *will* want a good solution to is fat pointers (so we can
recover both CPU and GPU address).
