David Airlie has sent out a new RADV patch adding support for copy descriptors.

This small patch was sent out overnight and a candidate for backporting to Mesa 17.2 and 17.3. Valve's Dota 2 game with its Vulkan renderer is making use of the copy descriptor support.

Without this enablement, Dota 2 with its latest updates in VR mode will hang.
