Making the BO list part of the CS IOCTL wouldn't help at all for the 
close source UMDs. To be precise we actually came up with the BO list 
approach because of their requirement.

The biggest bunch of work during CS is reserving all the buffers, 
validating them and checking their VM status. It doesn't matter if the 
BOs come from the BO list or directly in the CS IOCTL.

The key point is that CS overhead is pretty much irrelevant for the open 
source stack, since Mesa does command submission from a separate thread 
anyway.

Christian.
