This question seems to deviate from the purpose of this patch. If you are providing additional opinions for code quality improvement unrelated to this patch, it would be more appropriate for me to answer instead of him.

The runqueue node - which contains command list for g2d rendering - is generated when the user calls the ioctl system call. Therefore, if the user-requested command list is rendered by g2d device then there is no longer a reason to keep it. :)
