I think it's fine to assume Flat-CSS surface will always be in lmem.
I see no issue for the Anv Vulkan driver.
Maybe Nanley or Ken can speak for the Iris GL driver?

I think Nanley has accounted for this on iris with:

<p>Thanks Jordan,</p>

<p>We might want to through in an additional : assert((<code>flags
