I'm not sure if this was pointed out already, but dumb buffers != GEM
buffers. GEM buffers _can_ be dumb, but might not be.

Could you please rename to GEM_SET_LABEL?

This change to build upon dumb buffers was suggested by me, as dumb buffers is the closes thing there is to a buffer management interface. Drivers with 'smart buffers' would have to add their own ioctl interfaces.

What I really miss here is a userspace application that uses this functionality. It would be much easier to discuss if there was an actual example.

Best regards

Cheers,
Daniel
