30 * Buffer management.
31 *
32 * A buffer manager does only one basic thing: it creates buffers. Actually,
33 * "buffer factory" would probably a more accurate description.
34 *
35 * You can chain buffer managers so that you can have a finer grained memory
36 * management and pooling.
37 *
38 * For example, for a simple batch buffer manager you would chain:
39 * - the native buffer manager, which provides DMA memory from the graphics
40 * memory space;
41 * - the pool buffer manager, which keep around a pool of equally sized buffers
42 * to avoid latency associated with the native buffer manager;
43 * - the fenced buffer manager, which will delay buffer destruction until the
44 * the moment the card finishing processing it.
