Ok, then I´ll check all the reported requests (can I at least assume that the one I am interested in will be the last one? request_list seems to be FIFO...).

I´m using the request tail to traverse the ring buffer, make sure there is a MI_BB_START and then our object´s address shortly before that tail. I could use ring->tail, or I could skip this check altogether (after all, I´m already checking that the GPU was executing a Batch Buffer, and that the BB had my magic number on it).
