Considering the shortage of input on this can you please respin the
series without it (and related work mentioned below). This way we can
pick merge the remaining work now and discuss (ping) about the rest.

With above in mind the g2d event will need to be split out, although
g2d_exec2() should be ok (although of limited use), imho.

I am more of a "add API when it's needed" kind of person, although I
cannot see anything serious misuse that can arise from g2d_reset().

The exynos bo map compatibility was broken a few times already so I'm
wondering if we really want this one. I guess that with the lack of
any (outside of tizen) user space things cannot go that wrong :-P
