The per-context and per-batch workaround buffers are optional, yet we tell the GPU to execute them even if they contain no instructions. Doing so incurs the dispatch latency, which we can avoid if we don't ask the GPU to execute the no-op buffers. Allow ourselves to skip setup of empty buffer, and then to only enable non-empty buffers in the context image.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
