That's my understanding, or, maybe a better word would be "guess". The CPU telling the GPU: this is your memory now.

To some degree this is how it already feels like to program basically anything with dma today. You map hardware into an iommu and stop touching it when the hardware is supposed to use it, and then you reclaim it afterwards. So the model from the os feels the same, the difference is that it's not copying the memory into some local memory to operate on it.
