FWIW, etnaviv is currently completely unlocked in this path, but I
believe that this isn't an issue as the sched fence seq numbers are per
entity. So to actually end up with reversed seqnos one context has to
preempt itself to do another submit, while the current one hasn't
returned from kernel space, which I believe is a fairly theoretical
issue. Is my understanding correct?
