OK, so let's say user 1 opens a connection through a render node and
starts rendering using shared buffers.
Then we do a fast user switch, the render node ACL is updated and user 2
logs in.
What's stopping user 2 from accessing user 1's DRI content?

I haven't looked closely at what's actually allowed through render
nodes; perhaps buffer sharing using global names isn't?
