Can you please provide some more details on how this works from the
user space point of view? I want to be able to know with 100% certainty
if an unbind has already happened, so I can reuse that vma or whatever
else I may decide to do. I see the interface does not provide any sort
of drm_syncobjs for me to wait on the async unbind. So, when does the
unbind really happen? When can I be sure it's past so I can do stuff
with it? Why would you provide an async ioctl and provide no means for
user space to wait on it?

Thanks,
Paulo
