--- Comment #7 from Michel Dänzer <michel at daenzer.net> ---
Reassigning to Mesa, but TBH I wouldn't expect anything to happen anytime soon
(unless you do it yourself). Mesa definitely wants to use an optimized memcpy
on bare metal, so replacing memcpy everywhere is probably out of the question,
and finding all code in Mesa where this could happen might be tricky.

Also note that APIs such as OpenGL or Vulkan expose such GPU mappings to
applications directly, so the approach you're suggesting would likely require
fixing a lot of application/framework code as well. It would most likely be
less painful if this could be solved in KVM somehow, or if you just override
the default memcpy implementation (with a known-good one) on your system.
