+ * This function matches the IOSurfaceLock() name but what it really
+ * does is page the buffer back for the CPU to access from VRAM.
+ *
+ * Generally we don't want to do that, but we do need to in some
+ * cases such as when we are rendering with Cairo. There might
+ * be an opportunity later to avoid that, but since we are using
+ * GL pretty much everywhere already, we don't try.
