I wasn't sure exactly what you intended with the request to "update before
adjusting bo->resource".

Assuming the statistics update is done as part of radeon_bo_move_notify(), I 
believe that function cannot be called any earlier in radeon_bo_move(). If it 
were, the source object would be invalidated before it moved.

So I assume you're suggesting updating the memory usage earlier in 
bo_move_notify (before the early return for ghost objects).

Thanks,
Mikel
