It may not be obvious, but the current execbuffer2 ioctl interface
requires that the buffer object containing the batch-to-be-executed
be the LAST entry in the exec2_list[] array (I expected it to be
the first!).
To clarify this, we can replace the rather obscure construct
"list_entry(eb->vmas.prev, ...)"
in eb_get_batch() with the equivalent but more explicit
"list_last_entry(&eb->vmas,...)"
and of course add an explanatory comment.
