Lucas is working on host1x allocator, so let's defer this comment until
we have Lucas' code.

We do this because this way we can implement batch pinning of memory
handles. This way we can decrease memory handle management a lot as we
need to do locking only once per submit.

Decreasing memory management overhead is really important, because in
complex graphics cases, there are might be a hundreds of buffer
references per submit, and several submits per frame. Any extra overhead
relates directly to reduced performance.

No - the slot can be anywhere. That's why we have cmdbuf_offset in the
reloc struct.

Will add.

It should return negative in case of error.
