+ * buffer from which the hardware will actually execute, and by carefully
+ * managing the address space bindings for such buffers.
+ *
+ * The batch pool framework provides a mechanism for the driver to manage a
+ * set of scratch buffers to use for this purpose. The framework can be
+ * extended to support other uses cases should they arise.
