It's not easy to hit, but it's there. Possibly it doesn't matter for
some (many?) users. So I'm fine with supporting CPU access to TILER
addresses in the mainline kernel, but at the same time, it's not
something I will be working on. And possibly at some point I'll add a
kernel kconfig option, so that one needs to explicitly enable (and thus
acknowledge) the CPU accesses to TILER.
