Well exactly that's the problem, the buffers are no longer always 
cleared on creation with this patch.

Instead we clear on free, track which areas are cleared and clear only 
the ones which aren't cleared yet on creation.

So some cases need special handling. E.g. when the engine is not 
initialized yet or suspend/resume.

In theory after a suspend/resume cycle the VRAM is cleared to zeros, but 
in practice that's not always true.

Christian.
