+   /* XXX If VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo is chained by the app, all is
+    * good.  If it is not chained, we might still bind an external memory to
+    * the buffer, because vkr_dispatch_vkAllocateMemory makes any HOST_VISIBLE
+    * memory external.  That is a spec violation.
+    *
+    * We could unconditionally chain VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo.  Or we
+    * could call vkGetPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferProperties and fail
+    * vkCreateBuffer if the buffer does not support external memory.  But we
+    * would still end up with spec violation either way, while having a higher
+    * chance of causing compatibility issues.
+    *
+    * In practice, drivers usually ignore VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo, or
+    * use it to filter out memory types in VkMemoryRequirements that do not
+    * support external memory.  Binding an external memory to a buffer created
+    * without VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo usually works.
+    *
+    * To formalize this, we are potentially looking for an extension that
+    * supports exporting memories without making them external.  Because they
+    * are not external, they can be bound to buffers created without
+    * VkExternalMemoryBufferCreateInfo.  And because they are not external, we
+    * need something that is not vkGetPhysicalDeviceExternalBufferProperties
+    * to determine the exportability.  See
+    * vkr_physical_device_init_memory_properties as well.
