[PATCH v4 1/4] vkd3d: Ensure descriptors are pointer aligned.

[Conor McCarthy]

From: Conor McCarthy <cmccarthy(a)codeweavers.com>

The descriptor structure contains pointer and size types.

[PATCH v4 2/4] vkd3d: Delay writing Vulkan descriptors until submitted to a queue.

[Conor McCarthy]

From: Conor McCarthy <cmccarthy(a)codeweavers.com>

Eliminates vk_sets_mutex. Performance on average may be lower until
the descriptor mutexes are replaced and Vulkan writes are buffered
to reduce thunk calls.

[PATCH v4 3/4] vkd3d: Use atomic exchange for descriptor writes.

[Conor McCarthy]

From: Conor McCarthy <cmccarthy(a)codeweavers.com>

The descriptor component of struct d3d12_desc is replaced with a union
containing a pointer which can be swapped out using
InterlockedExchangePointer(). To make it safe to increment the refcount
of such an object it is necessary to cache freed objects. Elimination
of the descriptor mutexes on games which use multithreaded descriptor
writes nearly doubles framerate on recent hardware.

[PATCH v4 4/4] vkd3d: Collect multiple descriptor writes in a buffer and update in one call.

[Conor McCarthy]

From: Conor McCarthy <cmccarthy(a)codeweavers.com>

Reduces the cost of calling vkUpdateDescriptorSets() via winevulkan
and its thunks. The performance gain can be as high as 20%.

Why not `DECLSPEC_ALIGN(sizeof(void*))`, so that we avoid a magic number? Also, the commit message says "pointer aligned", but depending on the architecture 8 is more than a pointer. What is the actual requirement?
