Secondary, leaving the context object as being marked in the CPU write domain whilst on the GPU active list is a bad idea and will throw warnings later. Note: Thanks to calling set_to_gtt_domain with write = false and not setting any gpu write domain when putting a context object onto the active list (when we switch away from it) the set_to_gtt_domain call won't block.
