+/**
+ * struct drm_i915_gem_set_domain - Adjust the objects write or read domain, in
+ * preparation for accessing the pages via some CPU domain.
+ *
+ * Specifying a new write or read domain will flush the object out of the
+ * previous domain(if required), before then updating the objects domain
+ * tracking with the new domain.
+ *
+ * Note this might involve waiting for the object first if it is still active on
+ * the GPU.
+ *
+ * Supported values for @read_domains and @write_domain:
+ *
+ *	- I915_GEM_DOMAIN_WC: Uncached write-combined domain
+ *	- I915_GEM_DOMAIN_CPU: CPU cache domain
+ *	- I915_GEM_DOMAIN_GTT: Mappable aperture domain
+ *
+ * All other domains are rejected.
