I would say before *each* job executes, as the caches are flushed
before both bin and render.
I wouldn't say "the caches" as not all of the V3D caches are flushed
before executing a control list. In particular, the VCD cache is not
cleared by the kernel driver (not even sure if there is a register
interface to do this); it is expected that the control list will do
this itself (using the CLEAR_VCD_CACHE instruction).
On 3.3 and earlier there is a separate L2C for instructions/uniforms
and a GCA. These do need to be flushed, and it looks like they are, so
they should be mentioned here.
