From: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@xxxxxxx> When submitting a CONST_IB, emit a SWITCH_BUFFER packet before the CONST_IB. This isn't strictly necessary (the driver will work fine without it), but is good practice and allows for more flexible DE/CE sychronization options in the future. Current userspace drivers do not take advantage of the CE yet.
