I agree we are lacking docs on this, I'll send in the next version as soon as we agree on a name (please see below).

Another name it was suggested was "atomic amend", this feature basically allows userspace to complement an update previously sent (i.e. its in the queue and wasn't commited yet), it allows adding a plane update to the next commit. So what do you think in renaming it to "atomic amend"? Or do you suggest another name? I am not familiar with vulkan terminology.
