Why can't you do that waiting in the postclose hook? If it's the lack of
reference-counting in your driver for gem bo, then I'd say you need to
roll out some reference counting. Relying on the implicit reference
provided by the core is kinda not so great (which was the reason I've
thrown out the preclose hook). There's also per-bo open/close hooks.
