 * ``set_device_reset_callback`` sets a callback which will be called when
   a device reset is detected. The callback is only called synchronously.

+Using several contexts
+----------------------
+
+Several contexts from the same screen can be used at the same time. Objects
+created on one context cannot be used in another context, but the objects
+created by the screen methods can be used by all contexts.
+
+Transfers
+^^^^^^^^^
+A transfer on one context is not expected to synchronize properly with
+rendering on other contexts, thus only areas not yet used for rendering should
+be locked.
+
+A flush is required after transfer_unmap to expect other contexts to see the
+uploaded data, unless:
+
+* Using persistent mapping. Associated with coherent mapping, unmapping the
+  resource is also not required to use it in other contexts. Without coherent
+  mapping, memory_barrier(PIPE_BARRIER_MAPPED_BUFFER) should be called on the
+  context that has mapped the resource. No flush is required.
+
+* Mapping the resource with PIPE_TRANSFER_MAP_DIRECTLY.
