That is the part I'm less sure about. This is a BO wide flag so we are
also disabling implicit sync in the compositor. If the compositor does
only do read stuff that is ok, as the inserted exclusive fence will
work for that. But as I learned recently the app provided buffer may
end up being written to by the X server which open a whole can of
potential problems if implicit sync gets disabled between Xserver
operations on the app provided buffer. Hence setting that on the WSI
buffer is a whole new can of potential problems and hence I've said a
submission based flag would be preferred.

I can certainly try it out though.
