[PATCH 06/10] drm/i915/uapi: add NEEDS_CPU_ACCESS hint

[Matthew Auld <matthew.auld@intel.com>]

If set, force the allocation to be placed in the mappable portion of
I915_MEMORY_CLASS_DEVICE. One big restriction here is that system memory
(i.e I915_MEMORY_CLASS_SYSTEM) must be given as a potential placement for the
object, that way we can always spill the object into system memory if we
can't make space.
