random-diverging-from-original-topic-thought.. seems like userspace
just wants a deadline/timeout (hopefully in units of vblanks).. at
least to the level of "I want this to happen on the next vblank (after
rendering completes), or give me an error" vs "I want this to complete
atomically even if it takes a few extra vblanks for things to sort
out"..

I guess that amounts to what you mean by VBLANK_SYNCED flag, but
VBLANKED_SYNCED might not be a good name.. at least for some hw all
you can do is vblank sync'd..
