hmm, random though..

should we define CPU_PREP/CPU_FINI type ioctl's?

At least in the GStreamer case, we could cache the userspace mmap'ing,
and use the extra ioctls so the kernel side would know when cache
clean/invalidate is needed.  That would be a bit more efficient than
forcing userspace to map/unmap all the time, and could hook into
sync-objects of the allocator in cases where you have CPU access after
GPU renders to a buffer..

So, you think we could post the RFC to upstream lists without this, mentioning it as the immediate next TODO item? Or is it essential to add it for v1 of RFC?

Daniel?
