It's silly to have 2 mallocs when we could tie these two together. Also, Gustavo adds another one in his per-crtc out-fence patches. And I want to add more stuff here for nonblocking commit helpers. In the future we can use this to store a pointer to the preceeding state, making an atomic update entirely free-standing. This will be needed to be able to queue them up with a depth > 1.
