+ In order to guarantee data consistency, applications must ensure that neither
+ the host nor any device attempt to perform simultaneous read and write
+ operations on any part of the memory backing an imported buffer or sub-buffers
+ created therefrom, even if these accesses do not overlap. For example, this

+ buffer on the host while reading a sub-buffer created from that buffer on a
