My point is we want to centrally manage all virtualization, like as power play component does. 
For you, the code is not big difference, but for us, easy to implement new features, support new chips, and add new setting for virtualization.
Otherwise, there are lot of virtualization check in amdgpu and bring lot of effects to maintain virtualization code. 
You know, virtualization is very big feature for graphics.

Please think about from what I'm standing.
