+ *
+ * Note that this is generally a two step process for each drm_i915_query_item
+ * in the array:
+ *
+ *     1.) Call the DRM_IOCTL_I915_QUERY, giving it our array of
+ *     drm_i915_query_item, with drm_i915_query_item.size set to zero. The
+ *     kernel will then fill in the size, in bytes, which tells userspace how
+ *     memory it needs to allocate for the blob(say for an array of
+ *     properties).
+ *
+ *     2.) Next we call DRM_IOCTL_I915_QUERY again, this time with the
+ *     drm_i915_query_item.data_ptr equal to our newly allocated blob. Note
+ *     that the i915_query_item.size should still be the same as what the
+ *     kernel previously set. At this point the kernel can fill in the blob.

I'd also document the one step alternative where userspace passes in a buffer equal or larger than the required size. For many small queries (most?) this actually works just as well and with one ioctl only.
