[Bug 244877] graphics/mesa-dri: Fix vulkan by switching to unsynchronized userptr ioctls

Did you follow this advice (run the app as root)? The workaround in
lang/intel-compute-runtime/files/patch-userptr implements a fallback via a
feature that requires root. Without it running as root would have made no
difference i.e., still failed.

There's no workaround to avoid root. drm-kmod needs to implement
CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIER but that would be a "fix", not a "workaround".

No. attachment 212502 is for Vulkan on Haswell, not OpenCL. Besides,
intel-compute-runtime doesn't support Haswell.

Applies to Vulkan except VK_EXT_external_memory_host. OpenCL in Intel NEO
(compute-runtime) requires userptr, unlike Beignet where userptr was optional
for OpenCL 2.0.
