The problem here is that really we'd want the presenting process to
do the signal once it submits the work for actual presentations (be
that the X server DDX or whatever).

However that is going to be a bit tricky, for radv I've just been
submitting an empty command stream submit, once the X server
lets us know we've presented.

I looked how the codebase before I started working on it worked,
and I can't see if it dealt with this properly either, the impression I get
is that it might submit the wait sems via the sem ioctl onto a ctx,
but the X server might be using a different ctx, so would never
execute the wait, and we'd execute the wait the next time we did
a command submission.

I suppose we could just queue up the vkQueuePresentKHR wait
sems in userspace instead of a NULL cs if this solution was acceptable.

Dave.
