VkBuffer
objects created with the
VK_BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_RESIDENCY_BIT
bit allow the buffer to be made
only partially resident.
Partially resident VkBuffer
objects are allocated and bound
identically to VkBuffer
objects using only the
VK_BUFFER_CREATE_SPARSE_BINDING_BIT
feature.
The only difference is the ability for some regions of the buffer to be
unbound during device use.
