On gen8 and onwards, we can mark GPU accesses through the ppGTT as being
read-only, that is cause any GPU write onto that page to be discarded
(not triggering a fault). This is all that we need to finally support
the read-only flag for userptr!

Testcase: igt/gem_userptr_blits/readonly*

For full disclosure, I should say I have some caveats about ro support
around the API: I think both pwrite and GGTT mmap should reject bogus
writes. Hmm, indeed in this case, GGTT mmap will explode.
