Comment:

 Waiting for the GPU before accessing memory with the CPU is the
 correct and clean fix for a real bug, not a band aid.

 Non reading the memory at all is just an optimization.  And the
 cairobench results published by cjb prove that avoiding that
 stall is not going to buy us anything.

 My idea is that there are probably other places in the driver
 or in EXA causing GPU stalls.  I'm going to run some tests
 with oprofile to see if I can find the hot spots.

 We should track these things in a different bug and close this one.
 Jordan, feel free to reopen the bug again if you disagree.
