+ * engine on which it is currently being written (if any).
+ *
+ * The low word (bits 0:15) indicate if the object is being written
+ * to by any engine (there can only be one, as the GEM implicit
+ * synchronisation rules force writes to be serialised). Only the
+ * engine for the last write is reported.
+ *
+ * The high word (bits 16:31) are a bitmask of which engines are
+ * currently reading from the object. Multiple engines may be
+ * reading from the object simultaneously.
+ *
+ * The value of each engine is the same as specified in the
+ * EXECBUFFER2 ioctl, i.e. I915_EXEC_RENDER, I915_EXEC_BSD etc.
+ * Note I915_EXEC_DEFAULT is a symbolic value and is mapped to
+ * the I915_EXEC_RENDER engine for execution, and so it is never
+ * reported as active itself. Some hardware may have parallel
+ * execution engines, e.g. multiple media engines, which are
+ * mapped to the same identifier in the EXECBUFFER2 ioctl and
+ * so are not separately reported for busyness.
