We can easily change it downstream, but it makes it harder for people to
test the new upstream kernel with already released ROCm user mode
drivers that are easy to install and without having to wait a few weeks
for the next release.

If testability is not a priority, then I'd rather upstream the new
ioctls in the order in which we made them. The only reason I'm going
out-of-order is to make testing as easy as possible, as early as
possible, with the most recently released user mode stack.

It's your call, though.
