Maybe you say that g2d_dma_start() is called by exec ioctl so the GCF bit
could be set by only last node.  For this, We need to look into dma-driven
command processing. Assume that two more command lists exist and they are
executed at once. Then we CAN NOT GET each node while dma operation because
the command lists of each node are executed by dma at once.

On other words, there is no way to enable GCF bit only in case that a
command list completion interrupt is needed because the need is from user
side.

So I think we need some policy for g2d driver. For example, if user wants to
get event to each node, all nodes from the user should be operated with GCF
bit otherwise without GCF bit.
 
Any other idea?
