So to make this clear, I'm not really proposing to fix up all the
drivers in detail. There's a lot more bugs in all the other drivers,
I'm pretty sure. The driver fixups really are just quick hacks to
illustrate the problem, and at least in some cases, maybe illustrate a
possible solution.

For the real fixes I think this needs driver teams working on this,
and make sure it's all solid. I can help a bit with review (especially
for placing the annotations, e.g. the one I put in cs_submit()
annotates a bit too much), but that's it.

Also I think the patch is from before tmz landed, and I just blindly
rebased over it :-)
