Link to userspace part that implements these extensions? Also which
gles/compute extensions are you talking about? Asking not just because of
the open source userspace requirement, but also because we want to
upstream a scheduler on the i915 side. Getting alignment on that across
drm drivers would be sweet.

Adding intel-gfx, I'll poke the folks working on this too.
