Checked it out. It seems that the g2d dma could also access and control
other registers(not rendering relevant ones) in the command list. So we
could implement this approach that user can get event to each command list
completion more simply.

With set_cmdlist ioctl with event, it makes GCF bit to be set to
node->cmdlist and only ACF bit without event. Afterwards, whenever each
command list is completed, G2D Core can aware of the interrupt source
enabled(GCF or ACF) so interrupt  will occurs properly.

Mr. Cho, please implement this approach and test it.

I think it's enough to have only event to each command list because user
wants to do something only whenever one bitblt command is completed. Maybe
there is no use case to all command lists. Anyway, let's implement the above
approach first. :)
