Userspace is failing to prepare the GPU to execute a WAIT_FOR_EVENT
command, which it can only try if the kernel allows execution of
privileged batch buffers.

Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false" in xorg.conf will prevent the ddx from
issuing the hanging command sequence. It is not clear yet what the
missing ingredient is, I suspect the ddx needs to be more careful about
not setting conditions that can never be met.
