The other important bit I think are NULL checks. I think the commit
message should mention that too.

Droppingt he clflush from error capture seems like a pretty big
regression, at least at a glance. Why does this not result in piles of
corrupted error state captures?

I guess since we need to flush on incoherent platforms before gpu access
anyway this is mostly true (as long as userspace doesn't do something
silly), but I think it should be captured in a comment at the place of the
clflush.
