Work in progress for replacing seqno usage with requst structures.
There is a general feeling that it is better to move away from using a simple
integer 'seqno' value to track batch buffer completion. Instead, the request
structure should be used. That provides for much more flexibility going
forwards. Especially which things like a GPU scheduler (which can re-order batch
buffers and hence seqnos after submission to the hardware), Android sync points
and other such features which potentially make seqno usage more and more
complex.
The current set of patches do most of the seqno to request structure conversion.
There are still a couple of direct seqno comparisons in the semaphore code. The
final conversion of a seqno test into a 'completed' flag inside the request
structure is still do to as well. Along with whatever changes are required to
maintain such a flag.
The patches are being posted now to make sure that the various people involved
agree that it is heading in the right direction.
