Ah, I guess I missed that in the commit message. This is assuming that
user space doesn't include the BO in the job even though the GPU then
does try to access it. AIUI mesa wouldn't do this, but this is still
easily possible if user space wants to crash the kernel.

Ah, good point. Squashing in the following should do the trick:
