Just style, I like the grouping of the extended gem_execbuf() into a
single visual block. Either way it's a few instructions, negligible in
the grand scheme of unserialised code. We need a considerable safety
factor in any case, and yet small enough that we don't accidentally pass
with a random hangcheck.
