Agreed, This is a general facility that makes sense to add at the gallium API level -- there's nothing hardware-specific about this idea, so implementing it within a driver or winsys is putting it at the wrong level. I'd be happy to see a patch that adds something similar at the API level, eg an extra flag to map() like _DISCARD or similar.
