The kernel total GMR/DMA size is limited, but it's definitely possible for the
kernel to allow a larger buffer allocation to succeed, but command
submission using that buffer as a GMR would fail typically causing an
application crash.
So have the winsys limit the size of GMR/DMA buffers. The pipe driver will
then resort to allocating smaller buffers and perform the DMA transfer in
multiple bands, also allowing for the pre-flush mechanism to kick in.
This avoids the related application crashes.
