I don't like this. Can't we just add a separate IOCTL? Something like:

	struct drm_tegra_get_syncpt_base {
		__u64 context;
		__u32 syncpt;
		__u32 base;
	};

Which could be used somewhat like this:

	struct drm_tegra_get_syncpt_base args;

	memset(&args, 0, sizeof(args));
	args.context = context;
	args.syncpt = syncpt;

	err = ioctl(fd, DRM_IOCTL_TEGRA_GET_SYNCPT_BASE, &args);
	if (err < 0) {
		/*
		 * perhaps errno == ENOTSUP if the syncpoint has no
		 * associated base?
		 */
	}

	base = args.base;
