Why?  We ought to just optimize the driver to realize, "Hey, that
texture source address is in on-card memory.  I can do something smart
with that!"  That may mean that we need to do some hackery for the
server-side software rasterizer, but it seems like it should be 99%
containable in the 3D code.
